I love the sweet/spicy scent of Coriander seed oil. To me, the scent is warm, welcoming and relaxing, although like the other spices it is normally listed as a stimulant. Coriander can stimulate appetite, ease indigestion, and relieve neuralgia. It is useful as both an antispasmodic and anti-inflammatory, a gentle addition to rubs for aching muscles. It is more gently stimulating than most spice oils. Shirley Price recommends it in anti-flu blends, says that it is anti-bacterial. I think it would be a nice addition to a 'chest rub'. |

In early autumn I tend to blend it with orange for the lamp. It heralds the change of seasons for me. Coriander,
Basil, Vetiver and Orange make a wonderful daytime perfume blend. I've been putting this in a massage blend for my honey's aching back. Battaglia recommends Coriander oil for treating arthritis, gout, muscular aches and pains and rheumatism, as well as digestive disorders. |

I often add a few drops to the aroma lamp, blended with some mandarine. In our house it relaxes and seems to remove irritation and snappishness. A wonderfully calming and soothing oil without sedating. Good at the end of a hard day. Blends well with: All other spice oils, citrus oils, Cypress, Frankincense, Jasmine, Juniper, Petitgrain, Pine, Sandalwood |
