How to Use Coriander Seeds for Heavy Metal Cleaning

Coriander is also commonly known as cilantro. The seeds of this plant are traditionally used as culinary seasonings in soups, stews and powders. Coriander seeds are also used for their medicinal value. Primarily, they are used for chelating heavy metals, such as mercury, from the human system. The word "chelate" originates from a Greek word meaning to claw or to pull.

Dr. Yoshiaki Omura was the first to document the power of coriander as a chelating agent. His findings were reported in a study, cited in an article from Ferlow Botanicals. One way to chelate the body of heavy metals is to make and use a tincture of coriander seeds.
