Cilantro: More Than The Finishing Touch On Your Favorite Foods.

While people may think of this herb for adding to guacamole or a garnish for other foods cilantro isn't just a culinary culprit; it's a medical marvel.

Moderately packed with nutrients like potassium & vitamin A, cilantro also helps stabilize cell membranes as well as acting as an antimicrobial. Making the leaves into a poultice and drinking the juice has been used for all types of insect bites as well as rashes.

Blend a cup of fresh cilantro leaves with 1/3 cup of water & strain when finished. Store the juice in the refrigerator, and take 2 tbsp up to three times a day.

Hold on, don't you dare throw that pulp out. Save the pulp & apply it directly to affected areas once or twice daily. 

Cilantro can also be used for heavy metal detoxification, but it can be an allergen. Don't overdo it & stay on the lookout for adverse reactions.
