What other people think
'One of its main uses is as a diuretic, and in the treatment
of urinary tract problems. ..Hot compresses over the bladder are comforting and
helpful in cystitis and can be used for kidney problems, providing that medical
help should be sought as well. The diuretic action makes Parley helpful in all
situations where there is fluid retention: P.M.T., oedema, and cellulite.' -
