Abstract

Coriander (Coriandrum sativum) is traditionally used for digestive problems, flatulence, diarrhea and colic. Antioxidant, diuretic, cholesterol-lowering, anxiolytic, sedative-hypnotic and anticonvulsant activities were reported for the seeds and leaves; its main component linalool shows anti-anxiety, sedative, anticonvulsant and anti-Alzheimer's activities. The review summarises the neuropharmacological and antioxidant/anti-inflammatory effects of coriander.
