When you have excess water weight it can be beneficial to cleanse your body of it with a diuretic. When doing this, you will want to make sure to consume parsley if you use more than one diuretic per meal as it replaces potassium lost in urination. Take diuretics until oily, dark-colored urine becomes more normal, and dark circles or puffiness under the eyes is reduced.

Diuretics to add to cooking-

1) A pinch of cream of tartar
2) Up to 1 teaspoon of dried juniper berries per day
3) 1 teaspoon coriander seeds or cilantro leaf
4) Handfuls of parsley
5) Fresh corncobs or corn silk (a tea simmered at least 20 minutes)
