Similar in composition to Lavender and Rosemary, Coriander can be used to balance the body in a multitude of ways. From digestion and blood sugar balance to mental clarity and composure when distractions and stress (think headaches) are plentiful,
Coriander has a wide range of relaxing and grounding effects on the entire system. Coriander is gentle and versatile, yet strong enough to deliver results when called upon.

Internal:
Although the quality of Selah Oils is excellent, it is not advised to take essential oils internally unless under the guidance of a certified physician who is also certified in aromatherapy. We recommend getting internal dosing instructions from a licensed physician as some essential oils are not recommended for oral consumption. This is in no way a reflection on our oil quality, only a matter of safety and caution with respect to how concentrated essential oils are. When used within safe parameters, and under your physician's care, the quality of our essential oils is such that they can be used internally if deemed appropriate.
However, with that said, it is important to remember the extreme concentration of essential oils. "Using essential oils by rubbing them into the skin or via inhalation is in many cases more effective than oral delivery" (3. p. 96).
All cautions listed for individual oils do not include those cautions from ingestion.
Cautions
