CORIANDER
The leaves and seed contain antioxidants and it is used as a carminative and
digestive aid, an appetizer and a digestant stimulant. "In Asia the
herb is used against piles, headache and swellings; the fruit in colic,
piles and conjunctivitis; the essential oil in colic, rheumatism and
neuralgia; the seeds as a paste for mouth ulceration and a poultice for
other ulcers." Weak coriander tea may be given to children under age 2
for colic. Coriander contains substances that kill some bacteria,
preventing infection. New studies suggest that coriander has
anti-inflammatory effects.
