Coriander
Coriandrum Sativum
(More than 3000 years of
expressed usage)
Coriander is an annual plant
(bright-green feathery leaves that are delicately lobed) that
produces small, globular, grayish aromatic seeds historically
used for flavoring (like caraway or poppy seed).
Steam distilled from seeds. Most
seeds contain both fatty and essential oils. When seeds are
steam distilled, only the lighter essential oils pass through
the evaporation/condensation process, leaving the fatty oils
back in the plant mass in the cooker. The scent is a fresh,
spicy fragrance that is sweet, woody, and slightly balsamic. It
takes about 45 pounds of seed to produce 1 pound of Coriander
oil.
Egyptians called it the Herb of
Happiness. Found in the tombs of Tutankhamun and Ramses II.
The Chinese incorporated Coriander
into their medical practice as long ago as 207 B.C.E. and
believed that Coriander could bestow IMMORTALITY.
Coriander is rumored to be part of
the Babylonian Gardens for Wedding Celebrations and Funerals.
In India, Coriander was a remedy for
constipation and insomnia, as well as for easing the pain of
childbirth. Women consumed the seeds regularly to promote
fertility. During the Elizabethan era, candy coated coriander
seeds were served as a sweet after meals and to guard against
gas.
Properties: analgesic,
antibacterial, anti-depressive, antifungal, anti-infectious,
anti-inflammatory (topical application) antioxidant,
anti-rheumatic, antispasmodic, stimulant (cardiac, circulatory,
nervous systems).
Reported as an aphrodisiac of the
Middle East, Egypt, and Palestine, Coriander was used as such in
the classic tale, The Arabian Nights. Brought to Europe during
the Crusades for use as a Love Potion, it flavored a popular
drink of the Middle Ages called Hippocras (wine with Coriander
and Fennel seeds) that was drunk at weddings to inspire love and
sex!!!

Coriander is a natural deodorant.
May be helpful with: anorexia,
appetite stimulation, arthritis, chronic fatigue syndrome,
colds, colic, diabetes, diarrhea, digestive spasms, dyspepsia,
fatigue, flatulence, flu, fluid retention (relieves), gout,
hemorrhoids, hernias, hypoglycemia, infections (general),
measles, migraine, muscular aches and pains, nausea, neurotonic,
neuralgia, piles, poor circulation, rheumatism, skin (acne) and
muscular stiffness like TMJ.. Can stop hiccups (apply to mastoid
points and across stomach). Coriander is a circulatory stimulant
and encourages the release of toxins from the body, thereby
improving conditions such as arthritis, chronic fatigue
syndrome, gout, rheumatism and a sluggish lymph system.
Emotional: Can provide a calming
influence to those suffering from shock or fear when diffused
into the area. Can be stimulating to those who are suffering
from low energy when diffused. Comforts the intellect and
uplifts the mind benefiting those who are both worried and
emotionally bereft. Coriander is helpful for the depression that
develops from a lack of variation and opportunity. Easing the
oppression of the ―daily grind‖, it instills an optimistic and
inventive resourcefulness in those whose situation is one of
repetitious duty. Stimulates the central nervous system and
relieves lethargy, mental fatigue and nervousness. Some report
that it decreases dizziness. It improves memory and mental
functions. It promotes Happiness and Joy by reducing worry. This
is considered a protective oil and helps to increase feelings of
spontaneity and passion and seeks to achieve stability without
denying Joy. Coriander seed oil is ideally suited, therefore, to
complex, creative individuals who find it difficult to cope with
predictability and routine. Although they need stability and
emotional security, the resilience they seek is borne of
passionate involvement, rather than of self-protection.
Many individuals who have been
diagnosed with diabetes benefit from ingesting Coriander on a
regular basis. Patients have reported when acute stress or
sustained tension starts a high ―sugar‖ response – applying
Coriander directly over Pancreas and Stomach mitigates the
symptoms (profuse sweating, dizziness, disorientation, etc.)
almost immediately.
