- There are several ways to effectively use Cilantro essential oil and obtain its benefits, including 1.) Add 10 drops to your essential oil diffuser per 100 ml of water. 2.) Add 10 drops to an Essential Oil Inhaler and take it with you for on-the-go therapeutic use. 3.)

Spray onto surfaces and in the air to refresh your space.
- Due to its relatively new appearance in the aromatherapy world, Cilantro leaf is being looked into for the possibility of it increasing focus and give a mood boost. The oil is being studied as a remedy to improve moods in children. The herb cilantro is known for its ability to cool the body and aid healthy digestion. Research of the plant herb has shown promise with improving energy levels and aiding healthy skin. Medically, it may be able to reduce the risk of heart disease, diabetes, obesity, and the incidence and severity of seizures. We do not know yet if these abilities will transfer to the essential oil.
- Essential oils are powerful, concentrated substances so a little goes a long way. Two of the most effective ways to use them are by way of inhalation and topical use for body care. Ingesting Cilantro essential oil is not the optimal way to achieve its benefits as it lacks nutrients found in the whole herb. What’s more, the essential oil is often far more expensive than the herb that produces it. Therefore, we recommend using fresh herbs in cooking rather than essential oil.
- The living body is full of chelates many of which have no roles in our bodies’ homeostatis. These chelates or heavy metals can include arsenic, cadmium, lead and mercury. The metals bind to tissues and create oxidative stress as well as disrupt endocrine function and interfere with necessary metals such as magnesium and zinc. Despite limited evidence, Cilantro has gained attention even though the evidence out there is not final. More research is needed to understand if Cilantro can assist our bodies with this intervention.
- Cilantro and coriander essential oils are two different essential oils derived from the same plant. Coriander comes from the seeds and Cilantro comes from the leaves and stems of the plant. They have very similar abilities although Cilantro essential oil is new to the aromatherapy world and studies are starting to be conducted to understand this oils benefits. Both oils are very cleansing and can be used in topical skin abdominal massage oil blends to cool digestion for those who tend to have hot personalities and fast digestion.
