About the Plant:
Coriander is an annual herb, which grows up to 3 feet high. It has bright green delicate leaves, umbels of lace-like white flowers, and a mess of green round seeds. The green leaves are known as Cilantro, and are enjoyed in many dishes and cuisines.
Coriander Seed Essential Oil is extracted under pressure using CO2 from the dried, crushed seeds. The oil produced this way is recommended for soothing symptoms of: arthritis, gout, muscular aches and pains, and rheumatism. It may be helpful in nervous exhaustion, anorexia nervosa, and loss of appetite. Many times it is used as a fragrance component in soaps, cosmetics, and perfumes bringing a warm and relaxing aroma to these products.
Where it Grows:
Coriander is native to Europe and western Asia, naturalized in North America, and cultivated throughout the world. Amrita® Aromatherapy is proud to carry Certified Organic Coriander from Ukraine.
Traditional Lore:
Coriander Seed was cherished by the Egyptian Royals as an aphrodisiac and is said to be found in King Tut's tomb. The Greeks and Romans added it to wine, while Indians have used it therapeutically for insomnia and constipation and in their cooking for centuries. In China, the doctors picked coriander for digestive complaints, measles, and dysentery, and as a tonic for the heart. It was brought to the US in the 1670s by the British, making it one of the first spices cultivated and grown by the early settlers in America.
