The wonder herb is said to have several beauty and overall health benefits

Coriander, a wonder herb that is primarily used as a culinary ingredient, is the newest rockstar of the beauty regimen world. Be it acne or pigmentation, oily or dry skin, pimples or blackheads, coriander juice works like magic. Coriander is known for lowering cholesterol, treating the digestive system, increase in haemoglobin levels and curing eczema.

The antiseptic and carminative properties of green leaves is also the secret of glowing skin as it reduces acidity which helps get rid of various skin eruptions. Chewing fresh coriander leaves prevents anaemia which causes dull and dry skin. Coriander is rich in Vitamin C, betacarotene and antioxidants and its fresh aroma instantly rejuvenates both mind and body which makes skin soft, smooth and radiant. The leaves, the plant and seeds of coriander, all have their uses.

The paste or powder of the seeds is probably the most common spice after turmeric. Ayurveda, the ancient herbal healing system of India, mentions the use of coriander in many prescriptions due to its potent healing properties. Modern research has also proved it. For one thing, coriander contains powerful antioxidants, which prevent oxidation damage.

This actually helps to delay the degeneration of the body. As far as beauty is concerned, preventing oxidation damage helps to delay the formation of visible ageing signs on the skin. In Ayurvedic treatments, a paste of coriander leaves is applied to the skin or scalp to alleviate itchiness and dryness. In fact, a paste of coriander seeds with a little water and one teaspoon of honey is said to relieve itching.

Due to its antiseptic, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, coriander helps to control and cure acne conditions. Coriander leaves and lemongrass may be used together to control acne. Take one teaspoon each of coriander leaves and lemongrass. Add one cup of boiling water and let the herbs steep for an hour.

Then blend the herbs to a paste and apply on the acne eruptions. Leave on for 20 minutes and wash off with plain water. The fresh juice of coriander leaves mixed with lemon juice helps to control acne and blackheads. A paste of coriander leaves, mixed with paste of methi leaves, helps in the treatment of blackheads.

Apply on the areas with blackheads and wash off after 20 minutes. Coriander is also said to help remove tan. Make a face mask at home to reduce tan and also add a glow to the face. Take half cup oats, onefourth cup yoghurt, onefourth cup chopped coriander leaves. Blend this till it is a smooth paste. Apply on the face, avoiding lips and area around eyes. Leave on for 20 minutes and wash off.
