CORIANDER

|
Coriander is also beneficial for joints, toothache, swollen ankles, poor circulation, immune support, stress, irritability, exhaustion, nervousness, and menstrual discomfort. Specific to pregnancy and childbirth, it can be used for fatigue during pregnancy or labor, normal head pain associated with pregnancy, labor pain, after pain, recovery from a difficult labor, morning sickness, and risk of mastitis.
Emotionally, it is know for helping one to have the courage to be one’s true self.
As is true with other seed oils, coriander is an excellent option for easing digestive complaints. It can be applied topically for colic, gas, loose bowels, digestive spasms, intestinal discomfort, and indigestion. Internally, it is indicated for blood-sugar imbalance, gut imbalance, and fat digestion. But avoid using it internally during pregnancy and instead try applying it topically to the abdomen for fat digestion and gut floral imbalance and to SP3 and SP4 (acupuncture points) for blood sugar imbalance along with dietary protocol. (I've used it for this successfully with geranium as well).
