Coriander for Skin and Hair

Swathy · September 3, 2010 · 94 Comments

Yes, this might sound a little weird but its true. Dhaniya (coriander) which is extremely useful in garnishing and which we, literally, sprinkle without really thinking helps in combating hair loss. And, there are scores of ways to ingest this veggie. So, whether you include it as part of your spinach-lettuce drink or banana-honey biotin drink, it will bring no change in taste and add more health.
You would be surprised at the amount of health benefits this supposedly insignificant veggie can provide. To name some, it reduces fever, improves stomach capabilities, lowers blood cholesterol, treats diarrhea and improves menstrual flow. It is rich in proteins, fat, carbohydrates, fiber, vitamin C, iron, water and many more. Including it regularly in the diet provides a complete palate of nutrients into our bodies. 
To help with hair loss, you can also infuse your oil with dried coriander seeds. You can also make coriander hair rinse by boiling a bunch of coriander leaves in enough water and cooling it. And, who knew that coriander would be good for pimples, blackheads and dry skin too. At least, I did not. Take a little of coriander juice or fresh coriander leaves and grind it with a pinch of turmeric. Apply it on your pimples or complete face and wash off after it dries. So, now, coriander does not just remain some insignificant bunch of leaves lying around.

      neat castor oil is very concentrated so it should be mixed with some other oil to dilute it and then you can use it.

    Hi,
    Is castor oil good for hair?
    Usually we get two types of castor oil,one is refined and the other one is not(some what black color)
    Which castor oil do i use for hair?

    Reply
    • Swati Murti says

      November 28, 2012 at 8:17 AM

      oh yes…castor oil is very good but should not be used alone…it should always be diluted with some other oil like almond or sesame or something!!! i have used only the refined one so not sure about the black one which you are talking about. but, the raw is better than refined always so guess you can use that as well.

      actually onion juice should have worked but if you are prone to baldness then no remedy would work. you can definitely give coriander one a try!! it helps with stopping hair loss rather than inducing hair growth, though.

      grind the coriander and juice it. apply with help of a cotton ball on desired areas.

      hi. for the dark spots, you have to apply potato juice and honey on them. let it dry and wash off. and, moisturize your skin very well. also, be diligent with applying sunscreen. it really helps fade dark spots and blemishes in the long run.
