The link is in the description box, below. This video will be focused on emerging scientific research that's proven coriander,leaves and seeds, can be used to treat and even prevent chronic illnesses. Recent clinical studies have proven that coriander is a useful Hypolipidemic,which means it lowers the lipid (or fat) content of blood. It is also Antidiabetic, as it is capable of normalizing glucose levels. A study published in 'Plant Foods for Human Nutrition' proved that coriander seeds couldsignificantly lower cholesterol and triglycerides levels, even on a high fat diet. A later study, published in the 'Journal of Ethnopharmacology', confirmed those findingsand demonstrated that coriander could also normalize glycemia and decrease elevated levels of insulin. Both studies used animal subjects. And the researchers in the second study usedrats who were of normal weight and obese, but all subjects were hypoglycemic and hadhigh cholesterol and triglyceride levels. Coriander also works as an effective, all-natural Antiplatelet drug. It has the ability to decrease platelet aggregation and inhibits blood clot formation. Coriander is among the few plants that have been studied and clinically proven to be an effective antiplatelet. This is important news for those prone to blood clots and thrombosis,especially if you've been forced to endurethe discomfort of drugs like Coumadin (also known as Warfarin). A study published in the journal 'Pharmaceutical Biology' proved thisusing an aqueous extract of coriander leaves (also known as cilantro). To make a long study short, the leaf extract successfully inhibited human platelet aggregation. Coriander has proven to be an Immunomodulatory substance. It is capable of modifying or regulating one or more immune functions. Coriander is also an Antibacterial agent, capable of treating and preventing bacterial infections,and an Antioxidant that limits oxidative damage to the cells. Our immune systems are strongly influenced by the intake of nutrients. So, it should come as no surprise that coriander's high nutrient content is the source of its ability to boost immunity. According to the article 'Properties and Benefits of Coriander',coriander leaves are rich in vitamins A and C. By the way, coriander seeds contain no vitamin A and very little vitamin C (only 2% of the RDA). A quote from the article:“Vitamin A protects the integrity of mucous membranes at the level of the eyes,nose, mouth, throat, lungs and digestive tract, the parts of the body directly exposed to the outside world,ensuring they [are resistant] to viruses andbacteria attempts at infection. … Vitamin C increases white blood cell aggressivenesswhich means our body responds better and faster to basically any virus and bacterial threat. ”And, of course, both of these nutrients are powerful antioxidants. I know what you must be thinking: Coriander sounds way too good to be true. There must be a downside to using this herb? Well … Yes, there is. Coriander can cause sun sensitivity in some people, especially light-complected people. But anyone using coriander in a sunny region (or season) should take care to wear sun locke protective clothing, as they may be at an increased risk for sunburns, and the consequences thereof. Coriander can also trigger allergic reactions in people allergic to mugwort,aniseed, caraway, fennel, dill, and other plants belonging to the Artemisia and Apiaceae families. And although coriander is soothing to the stomach and digestive system, it can irritate and inflame the skin of some if applied topically. However, there is no record of coriander interacting with any known drug. And even the mainstream medical community is willing to acknowledge that coriander issafe in food amounts and “possibly safe for most people” when consumed in suitable medicinal dosages. There are additional warnings listed in the original article. To reiterate, coriander has been used in many cultures for millennium. Even the father of modern medicine, Hippocrates, recommended the use of coriander as a medicine. Pliny the Elder wrote extensively about the medicinal uses of coriander. He recommend coriander seed, mixed with pomegranate juice and oil, to expel intestinal worms. In Ayurvedic medicine, coriander is used as a digestive aid. In Chinese medicine, the whole herb is used to treat a variety of conditions,including nausea, toothache, hernias, measles, dysentery and hemorrhoids. In China, it was once “[believed] that those who consume coriander seeds will be rewarded with immortality. The Is raellites used coriander in their cooking. … The Book of Numbers (in the Old Testament and Hebrew Bible) compares coriander with manna. ” … Manna, for those who've never heard of it,is the substance miraculously supplied as food to the Is raellites in the wilderness. Some of those ancient claims are, obviously, exaggerations. However, when you consider the very long list of proven benefits,it's easy to understand why the ancients would assume coriander was capable of much more fantastical healing feats. And who knows what future scientific studies may reveal.
