Celery Detox Juice 🌿🥒

🥬 Introduction

Celery juice has become one of the most popular natural health drinks in recent years. Made from fresh green celery stalks, this vibrant juice is refreshing, hydrating, and packed with nutrients. Many people enjoy it in the morning as a gentle way to support digestion and overall wellness. While no single food can magically “cleanse” organs, celery is rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and water that support the body’s natural detox systems — especially the liver and kidneys.
