Healing Properties and Warning

The fruits of the coriander plant contain an essential oil rich in linalool, the active component to which the plant owes its properties.

2. Carminative: Eliminates gas.
3. Mild invigorator of the nervous system when taken in small doses.

Although this property has not been proven, Coriander has been used as a vermifuge. In any of its methods, coriander is recommended for the following conditions:

1. Digestive disorders: Gastritis, pancreatic insufficiency, bloated stomach, lack of appetite, flatulence.
2. Recovery from infectious diseases, as an invigorator and stimulant of the appetite.
3. Halitosis (bad breath) in people who consume garlic or onion and of smokers.

WARNING! Never use the green parts of the plant. Never exceed the prescribed dose. The essence, in high doses, can cause convulsions.
