Cilantro is a fragrant, versatile herb enjoyed in cuisines across Asia, the Middle East, Central America, and beyond. With a history stretching back to Ancient Greece, it has been valued for both its distinctive flavor and its wellness-supporting qualities for centuries.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and Yakuzen, cilantro’s fresh, aromatic scent is believed to help move Qi (vital energy) smoothly through the body, support healthy digestion, stimulate appetite, and ease feelings of stress or stagnation.

While many people enjoy cilantro without issue, some may experience allergic reactions such as throat or facial swelling or hives. If you notice any of these symptoms, stop consuming cilantro and seek medical advice promptly.
