Coriander Seed (Coriandrum Sativum)

The digestive seed of ancient medicine — gut comfort, blood sugar balance, and hormonal support.

Coriander seed (Coriandrum sativum) has been used medicinally for over 7,000 years across Ayurvedic, Egyptian, and Caribbean traditions. While the leaf excels at detox, the seed is the digestive powerhouse — rich in volatile oils, flavonoids, and phytoestrogens that calm the gut, regulate blood sugar, support thyroid function, and ease hormonal imbalance.

Key Benefits
Digestive comfort & IBS relief · Bloating, gas & cramping · Blood sugar regulation · Cholesterol management · Hormonal balance & phytoestrogenic support · Antimicrobial & antifungal

How to Use
Lightly crush 1 tsp coriander seeds and steep in 250ml hot water for 10–15 mins. Drink 1–2 cups daily, ideally after meals. Warm, citrusy, slightly spiced flavour — pairs well with fennel, cumin, or ginger. Can also be dry-roasted and added to food.

When to Expect Results
Digestive comfort & bloating: a few days · Blood sugar & cholesterol support: 3–6 weeks · Hormonal & thyroid balance: 6–12 weeks of consistent use.

Who It’s For
• IBS, bloating, gas & digestive cramping
• Blood sugar management & diabetes support
• High cholesterol & cardiovascular health
• Hormonal imbalance & menopausal support
• Thyroid support & metabolic health

Who Should Avoid
• Coriander or Apiaceae family allergy (carrot, celery, parsley) — risk of allergic reaction
• On diabetes medication — may enhance blood sugar lowering; monitor closely
• Hormone-sensitive conditions (oestrogen-dependent cancers) — consult GP due to phytoestrogenic activity
• On blood thinners — consult GP
• Pregnant in large therapeutic doses — culinary amounts generally safe

Storage
Store whole seeds in an airtight container in a cool, dry place away from sunlight. Best used within 12–24 months. Whole seeds retain potency longer than ground — crush just before use for maximum flavour and benefit.
