Is coriander boiled in water and the solution drunk good for colds and coughs?!


Question: Coriander is a diuretic, alterative, and carminative. Steeped in tea for about twenty minutes (not boiled,which is called a decoction) it is used to relieve fevers. It is sometimes added to laxative formulas to prevent griping. Spices that you may have on hand that would be more effective for coughs and "colds" would be sage,cayenne, fennel, thyme, ginger, and garlic.

Hiya!

Its not too bad, although can cause some side effects to your systems (if you know where I'm heading!). I think a hot lemon would be better for colds. Do it the same way, slice of lemon in boiling water.

Coriander has been used as a folk medicine for the relief of anxiety and insomnia in Iranian folk medicine. Experiments in mice support its use as an anxiolytic.[7] Coriander seeds are also used in traditional Indian medicine as a diuretic by boiling equal amounts of coriander seeds and cumin seeds, then cooling and consuming the resulting liquid.[8] In holistic and some traditional medicine, it is used as a carminative and for general digestive aid.[9][10]
