A Botanical Legacy
Cilantro (coriander leaf) has a rich history of culinary, ceremonial, and aromatic use. Ancient Egyptians, Romans, Hebrews, Indian sages, and Chinese masters prized its bright, green fragrance for relaxation, rejuvenation, and spiritual inspiration. This essential oil continues that tradition today, bringing vibrant green energy, motivational clarity, and a refreshing touch to your creations.
"Regardless of its reputation as a love potion, fourteenth-century nuns included coriander in their Carmelite water. It remained popular for complexion care for the next four centuries and eventually was produced as cologne."
— Kathi Keville & Mindy Green, Aromatherapy: A Complete Guide to the Art
"It is generally relaxing... because of its high linalool content this oil is tonifying and strengthening, it can sometimes be successfully used to replace rosewood."
— Kurt Schnaubelt, Advanced Aromatherapy
"In this fragrance lies the challenge of change, helping us go forward, even if timidly, rather than staying behind ever wondering, 'What if?'."
— Valerie Ann Worwood, Aromatherapy for the Soul
