==Special Precautions of Coriander==
* See precautions of [[Linalool]]
* Detox : Heavy Metal Cleansing : Cilantro is most often cited as being effective for heavy metal cleansing and rightfully so, this herb is a powerful, natural cleansing agent. The chemical compounds in cilantro bind to heavy metals and loosen them from the tissue. Many people suffering from mercury exposure report a reduction in the often-cited feeling of disorientation after consuming large and regular amounts of cilantro over an extended period.
*Bloating
* cholesterol problems: It acts as a cholesterol regulator, lowering bad cholesterol and raising the good.
* colic
* colon cancer
* vaginal yeast infection.
* Aromatherapy for Pitta Imbalance.
* *Vitamin K : One serving of cilantro provides 16 percent of the daily recommended intake of vitamin K. Your body relies on vitamin K in your diet to help it coagulate blood -- this prevents a cut or scratch from becoming a major medical event. If you take blood thinners, you might need extra vitamin K. Consult your physician before adding cilantro to your diet for the purpose of beating a vitamin K deficiency.
*Vitamin A : Cilantro serves as a source of vitamin A, a vitamin important for the health of your eyes. One serving of this herb contains 5 percent of the quantity of vitamin A you require daily. Eating cilantro can bolster your night vision and reduce your risk of eye infections thanks to vitamin A's corneal protections.
* Vitamin D transport : It's full of fatty acids to help transport vitamin D to cells (28.4% of seed weight, in fact!) Studies have also shown that coriander can purge your body of toxic metals like mercury, cadmium, aluminum, and lead that can impair vitamin D absorption.
* Antibiotic : Cilantro can crush salmonella: In a recent study led by Isao Kubo, Ph.D at the University of Berkeley, laboratory tests have shown that this component of cilantro is two times as potent as the commonly-used allopathic antibiotic medicine gentamycin. This makes it a potent weapon against the dangerous salmonella bacteria.
