help heavy periods, and the related pain. It also helps high blood sugar, and

bladder problems. I am pasting some info about it.

Health Benefits of Coriander

The health benefits of coriander include swellings, high cholesterol levels,

diarrhea, Mouth ulcers, anemia, digestion, menstrual disorders, small pox, eye

care, conjunctivitis, skin disorders, blood sugar disorders, etc.

Coriander, commonly known as Dhania in the Indian Subcontinent or Cilantro in

the Americas and some part of Europe, is an herb which is extensively used

around the world as a condiment or as a garnish or as a decoration on the

dishes. Its scientific name is Coriandrum Sativum L. Its leaves and fruits have

typical aroma and are used raw or dried in culinary.

But that part of introduction was only the tip of the ice-berg. Coriander has so

many benefits that a book can be written on them. It has eleven components of

essential oils, six types of acids (including ascorbic acid, better known as

vitamin-C), minerals and vitamins, each having a number of beneficial

properties. The rest is given below.

* Swellings: Cineole, one of the 11 components of the essential oils, and

linoleic acid, present in coriander, possess anti rheumatic and anti arthritic

properties, which are very beneficial for swelling caused due to these two

reasons. For others, such as swelling due to malfunctioning of kidney or anemia,

it is seen to be effective to some extent, as some of the components help

excretion of extra water from the body while.

* High Cholesterol Levels: Some of the acids present in coriander viz.

linoleic acid, oleic acid, palmitic acid, stearic acid and ascorbic acid

(vitamin-C) are very effective in reducing the cholesterol level in the blood.

They also reduce the cholesterol deposition along the inner walls of the

arteries and veins.

* Diarrhea: Some of the components of essential oils in coriander such as

Borneol and Linalool, aid digestion, proper functioning of liver and bonding of

bowels, helping cure diarrhea. It is also helpful in diarrhea caused by

microbial and fungal action, since components like Cineole, Borneol, Limonene,

Alpha-pinene & beta-phelandrene have anti bacterial effects. In addition, the

fresh coriander leaves are excellent appetizers.

* Mouth Ulcers: Citronelol, a component of essential oils in coriander, is

an excellent antiseptic. In addition, other components have anti microbial and

healing effects which do not let wounds and ulcers in the mouth go worse. They

aid healing up of ulcers and freshen up the breath.

* Anemia: Coriander is good in iron content which directly helps curing

anemia.

* Digestion: Coriander, due to its rich aroma because of its essential oils,

apart from being an excellent appetizer, helps in proper secretion of enzymes

and digestive juices in the stomach, stimulates digestion and peristaltic

motion. It is helpful in treating problems like anorexia.

* Small Pox: The essential oils in coriander are rich in anti microbial,

anti oxidant, anti infectious and detoxifying components and acids. The presence

of vitamin-C and iron strengthen the immune system too. These properties help

prevent and cure small pox. They also reduce the pain and have a soothing effect

on pox patients.

* Menstrual Disorders: Being stimulating in nature and helping proper

secretion from the endocrine glands, it also helps proper secretion of the

hormones and thereby inducing proper menstrual cycles and reducing pains etc.

during periods.

* Eye Care: Coriander has lots of anti oxidants, vitamin-A, vitamin-C and

minerals like phosphorus in the essential oils in it which prevents aging of

eye, macular degeneration and soothes eyes against stress.

* Conjunctivitis: As discussed earlier, coriander is a very good

disinfectant and has anti microbial properties which protect the eyes from

contagious diseases like conjunctivitis.

* Skin Disorders: The disinfectant, detoxifying, anti-septic, anti-fungal

and anti-oxidant properties of cumin are ideal for curing skin disorders such as

eczema, dryness and fungal infections.

* Blood Sugar: Due the stimulating effect of cumin on the endocrine glands,

the secretion of insulin is increased from pancreas which increases the insulin

level in the blood, thereby helping proper assimilation and absorption of sugar

and resultant fall in the sugar level in the blood. This property is very

beneficial for the diabetes patients and others too.

* Other benefits: Still want more from it? You get it! Coriander helps cure

ulcer, inflammation, spasm and acts as an expectorant, protects and soothes

liver. It is anti-carcinogenic, anti-convulsant, anti-histaminic and hypnotic.

Coriander is believed to be a natural aphrodisiac and previously it was

extensively used in certain preparations, combined with other herbs, to enhance

libido.
