May protect brain health

Inflammation is linked to a variety of brain disorders, including Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, and multiple sclerosis. The anti-inflammatory effects of coriander may protect against several disorders. Coriander extract was found to preserve nerve cells after drug-induced seizures in one rat research, most likely due to its antioxidant capabilities.

Coriander leaves boosted cognition in mice, indicating that the herb may have benefits for Alzheimer's disease. Coriander may also aid in the treatment of anxiety. Animal studies show that coriander extract is nearly as efficient in reducing symptoms of this disease as Diazepam, a popular anxiety treatment. The antioxidants in coriander may reduce brain inflammation, improve memory, and reduce anxiety symptoms.
