What a luscious way to get well, to consume such an exotic aromatic spice. Cilantro is famous in the Americas, while coriander is one of the most ancient of all Old World medicines. True cilantro, which is different from the commercial type, consists of the leaves of the coriander seed plant. These green leaves are rich in aromatic oils plus flavonoids and trace minerals. Coriander oil is extracted from the seed of the cilantro plant.

Coriander was heavily used by the ancient Egyptians both as a food additive and medicine, partly as a libido stimulant. The ancient Greeks employed it to combat disorders of the glands, eye conditions, digestive problems, and sluggish breast milk. Now it is known that cilantro/coriander is a top herb for improving liver function, and the liver is the synthetic factory which controls all body functions. Researchers determined that these spice oils effectively lowered cholesterol functions and dramatically improved the liver's synthetic and healing capacities. Also, the anti-cancer functions of the liver were dramatically boosted by the regular intake of rather small amounts of cilantro/coriander. This is a definite herb of choice for boosting liver function. Currently herbalists use these herbs for a wide range of digestive complaints, particularly nervous stomach or intestines, excess gas, bloating, indigestion, stomach ache, and spasms. Another 1st by North American Herb & Spice, this is the first oil of cilantro made from the Mediterranean grown wild true cilantro leaves, plus the seeds. That is why it is called Oil of Cilantro-plus.
