Cilantro is leafy part of the plant grown from coriander seeds. The action of the leaves and seeds varies a bit. According to research by Dr. Yoshiaki Omura, cilantro (leaves) promote removal of certain toxic metals, such as mercury, lead, and aluminum. The product needs to be used very carefully and in conjunction with other herbs that support organ function and proper elimination of the metals.
Cilantro is cooling and helps to pacify excess pitta.
It is not advised that people with amalgam fillings use cilantro.
