May fight infections and protect your skin

Coriander contains antibacterial properties, which may aid in the treatment of some diseases including foodborne illnesses. Dodecenal, a coriander component, may help fight germs like Salmonella, which may cause life-threatening food poisoning and affects 1.2 million individuals in the United States each year. Furthermore, one test-tube study discovered that coriander seeds are one of several Indian spices that help combat the germs that cause urinary tract infections. Coriander oil, according to other research, should be utilized in antibacterial formulations due to its capacity to combat foodborne diseases and hospital-acquired infections.

Coriander may offer a number of skin advantages, including relief from minor rashes such as dermatitis. Its extract failed to cure diaper rash in newborns on its own in one trial, but it might be used in combination with other calming substances as an alternate therapy. According to other research, the antioxidants in coriander extract may help prevent cellular damage, which can contribute to accelerated skin aging, as well as skin damage from UVB radiation. Additionally, many individuals use coriander leaf juice to treat skin issues such as acne, pigmentation, oiliness, or dryness. Nonetheless, research into these applications is sparse.
