About coriander oil from dōTERRA®:
Coriandrum sativum is an annual herb, growing to about three feet in height, and is very aromatic. Coriander essential oil is extracted, through steam distillation, from the seeds of this plant, yielding an oil with a green, sharp, herbaceous aroma.
Popular across many cultures, for various uses, coriander oil’s health-supportive properties can be attributed to its extremely high linalool content. Its benefits range from the promotion of healthy digestion and easing of occasional stomach upset, to helping to maintain an already healthy insulin response. It is helpful in soothing joint and muscle discomfort, tones and rejuvenates the skin and helps oily skin areas to reduce breakouts.
Coriander oil has a sweet, warm, herbaceous fragrance, with soothing and calming properties, making it a good rotation oil to use in blends to add a fresh, herbaceous note.
