Text / Li Jia

Many people hate the smell of coriander, but when you understand the various functions of coriander, you will find that coriander has been underestimated and ignored by us.

Who would have thought that coriander, a small fresh seasoning dish that is always used as an embellishment and a supporting role, has a strong ability to eliminate heavy metal toxins, and has various effects such as lowering blood sugar, lowering cholesterol, and anti-oxidation.

Coriander, also known as coriander and coriander, exudes a unique aroma, which is loved by some and hated by others. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that coriander dispels wind and cold, releases evils, eliminates phlegm, causes acne, and wards off bad qi; It is written in “Compendium of Materia Medica”, “Coriander is pungent, warm and fragrant, it connects the heart and spleen inside, and reaches the limbs outside, and can ward off all unhealthy qi.”

Clear heavy metal first course

Modern medicine has also found that coriander has high nutritional value and is rich in vitamin C, carotene, calcium, iron, flavonoids and active phenolic acid compounds. It has many functions such as balancing blood sugar, anti-oxidation, improving memory, solving brain fog problems, slowing down neurasthenia, and helping digestion.

What makes cilantro the most eye-catching, is its detoxification ability. Coriander can act as a chelating agent to tightly bind heavy metals in the blood, which are then filtered through the kidneys and excreted from the body. It can not only help excrete toxic heavy metal toxins in the brain, but also remove toxic heavy metals in the liver, kidneys and digestive tract. It is known as “the first dish to remove heavy metals”.

Luo Shikuan, a naturopathic doctor, pointed out that the key to removing heavy metals from coriander lies in its fragrance. “It belongs to the aromatic group, contains sulfur amino acids, and has a hexagonal ring structure that can bind heavy metals. It can take heavy metals out of cells and deep tissues. Heavy metals are leached to the superficial position, so they are naturally easier to discharge.”

Coriander can also expel parasites in the body. Chinese medicine doctor Wen Binrong said that the special smell of coriander can “eliminate all fishy smells, expel parasites in the intestines, paralyze them and expel them.”

In addition, Chinese medicine also uses coriander seeds to treat toothache, diarrhea, and cold stomach pain.
