Wild carrot

In the work of Consalteri et al. [62] the samples of six different vegetable species, carrot, wild endive, celery, chicory, spinach, and parsley, were analyzed.

D. carota ssp. commutatus) were also investigated regarding the accumulation of polyacetylenes. Raman spectra prove that mainly falcarindiol is present in the individual wild species. Recently, differences in the Raman spectra of two wild carrot species have been described in more detail D. carota ssp. gummifer, D. carota ssp. maximus) [17]. Furthermore, Raman mapping clearly presented the different distribution of polyacetylenes in wild and orange carrots. It could be shown that the whole phloem tissue was rich in polyacetylenes, but the maxima were also observed near the pericyclic parenchyma. An analogous distribution of polyacetylenes was found in roots of other carrot wild species.

Wild carrot has diuretic, antilithic, and carminative properties. Traditionally, it is used for urinary calculus, lithuria, cystitis gout, and specifically for urinary gravel or calculus.

Gravel, suppression of urine, and other bladder and kidney disorders. Frequently prescribed in combination with Wild Carrot and Parsley Piert. Wineglass doses of the infusion of 1 ounce to 1 pint boiling water. 

Features The branched stems of one to three feet high are tough and bristly. The whole plant is hairy, and the leaves are oblong and bipinnate, with acute segments. Blossoming in June and July, the umbel of white flowers usually contains one crimson flower in the centre. The root tapers, is yellowish-white, sweetish, and faintly aromatic. Wren tells us that "in taste and odour it resembles the garden carrot, but the root is small and white, not large." Ferrier, however, says of this root, "no resemblance in taste or colour to the cultivated carrot." Our own opinion is that Wild Carrot tastes like a rather distant relative of the household carrot—which it probably is. 

Wild Carrot naturally, therefore, takes a prominent place in many formulae for the treatment of dropsy, gravel, retention of urine, and bladder trouble generally. Either an infusion or decoction may be prepared in the usual proportions, and doses of 2 fl. ounces taken three or four times daily. 

Culpeper comments "Wild Carrots belong to Mercury, and therefore breaketh wind, and removeth stitches in the sides, provoketh urine and women s courses, and helpeth to break and expel the stone."...
