The leaves of dhania may be used as an appetiser and might also help with indigestion and may help relieve stomach cramps and muscle spasms. The fruits of dhania may also be helpful for indigestion. Dhania is also known to be a good carminative (relieving gas accumulation) agent. In some parts of Pakistan, dhania has been used for flatulence, diarrhoea, stomach problems, vomiting, and jaundice. Dhania might also help enhance bowel movements and might function as a mild laxative. It may also be effective against ulcerative colitis and hepatitis2<\/a><\/sup>.

It might also help relieve anxiety. Dhania may also be helpful for insomnia (sleeplessness). Due to its vitamin K content, dhania may be helpful for Alzheimer\u2019s disease. The aqueous and ethanolic extracts of coriander seeds might also have a potent use against convulsions1<\/a>,2<\/a><\/sup>. However, more research is required to ascertain such claims. Therefore, kindly consult a doctor for diseases related to the central nervous system and do not self-medicate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\nFrom what I have seen, coriander seeds might be a potentially healthy ingredient to include in your diet.

In an interesting study, I read that coriander leaf extract, called CSE, was tested on human skin cells and mice to see if it might protect against UV damage. The results showed that CSE may increase collagen production, which keeps the skin healthy, and reduce an enzyme that breaks down collagen. This suggests that coriander leaf extract may help ward off skin ageing caused by the sun7<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\nDr. Siddharth Gupta, B.A.M.S, M.D (Ayu)<\/a><\/strong><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<\/span>Properties of Dhania<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\nAll parts of dhania have different potential uses and has been used traditionally across the world.
