The herb is known for its biologically active phytochemicals, which are used to treat possible sleep disorders.

Coriander has an anxiolytic, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and analgesic effect. These components make the herb attractive to those seeking a restful night’s sleep.

While there is no conclusive scientific evidence, coriander tea is considered to be some sort of “magic formula” for more restorative sleep.

Some studies show that cilantro has a sedative effect and may even prolong sleep. In addition, they can also help alleviate the effects of anxiety.

Recent research confirms that coriander seed water extract has anxiolytic properties, meaning that it may help calm the mind and reduce anxiety caused by a more productive night’s sleep.

Regardless, the R7 portal highlights the importance of research to confirm these benefits and establish specific dosage recommendations.

However, the substances present in cilantro offer natural and potentially effective options for those looking to improve sleep quality without the need for medication.

As with any treatment, it’s important to see a doctor before making diet or lifestyle changes.
