USES IN AROMATHERAPY
Mind/Emotional:
Coriander essential oil is great for anyone stuck in situations of routine, predictability and lack of creativity. This is often a situation of fear of failure and self-protection, seeking emotional security.
 
The warm, woodsy and herbaceous aroma of Coriander is stimulating to the brain. Breathing in Coriander essential oil is like taking a breath – breathing out old ideas and taking in new perspectives.
 
Another great tonic for recovery from illness with low ebb; at the same time, as a sedative, it is valuable when stress is high and one is dealing with physical and mental exhaustion.
 
Body/Physical:
In Traditional Chinese Medicines (TCM), it can circulate Qi to disperse coldness and obstruction that manifests into rheumatic pain and arthritis. Being anti-spasmodic, Coriander oil is also beneficial in massage blends for athletes and those training in gyms. It helps boost circulation in muscles and joints to soothe muscular tension, aches and stiffness.
 
Gentle massage with this oil can also ease digestive problems such as flatulence, diarrhea, nausea and stomach cramps, hemorrhoids, colic as well as loss of appetite and anorexia.
 
Coriander is also valued for regulating menstrual cycles and relieving menstrual cramps.
