In Chinese Medicine: A moderate cooling, lemony-green oil, Coriander Leaf is used for moderately circulating the Qi. A somewhat milder and less cooling relaxant than Lemongrass, it suits patterns of Qi constraint with only moderate rising tension and heat, and works well in general for young people and sensitive individuals. With a good affinity for the Middle Jiao, it is associated with patterns of constraint and food stagnation with some heat.
