Coriander (Coriandrum sativum) seeds are a highly effective carminative spice containing a rich essential oil dominated by linalool. Linalool acts as a gentle spasmolytic on the smooth muscles of the digestive tract, easing abdominal cramps, flatulence, and bloating. The seeds also contain active polyphenols and fatty acids that stimulate bile acid production and liver enzymes, accelerating digestion and supporting healthy lipid metabolism.
