Health Desk. Coriander is commonly used in Indian kitchen for garnishing or chutney, but do you know that coriander leaves juice is a powerful ‘health drink’? From Ayurveda to modern science, coriander has been praised for its detox properties. Especially in this scorching summer season, consuming coriander juice on an empty stomach in the morning can save you from many serious problems.

1. Natural detox and kidney cleansing

Coriander leaves juice acts as a natural filter for the body. The antioxidants present in it help in removing heavy metals and toxins from the body. It improves liver and kidney function, making you feel fresh and light from within.

2. Keep your body cool in summer

Due to heat wave and scorching sun in North India, the body gets tired quickly. Coriander has a cooling effect. Drinking its juice keeps the internal temperature of the body balanced, which provides immediate relief from fatigue, burning sensation and weakness caused by heat.

3. Panacea for digestive system

If you are often troubled by the problem of gas, indigestion or bloating, then coriander juice is a boon for you. Elements like linalool and borneol present in it activate digestive enzymes, due to which food gets digested quickly and metabolism improves.

4. Relief from internal swelling and joint pain

Due to today’s busy life and poor diet, ‘chronic inflammation’ (internal swelling) starts increasing in the body. Coriander contains powerful antioxidants like cineole and quercetin, which not only reduce inflammation but also provide relief from joint pain and stiffness.

5. Strong bones and better immunity

Coriander is an excellent source of Vitamin C, Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Vitamin K helps in maintaining bone density, while Vitamin C makes your immunity so strong that you do not fall ill easily when the weather changes.

6. Sugar level and heart health

Some research suggests that coriander seeds and leaves can help balance blood sugar levels by increasing the activity of insulin in the body. Additionally, it is also considered helpful in reducing bad cholesterol and improving heart health.

How to prepare coriander juice?

It is very easy to make:

• Wash a handful of fresh coriander leaves thoroughly with clean water.

• Grind them in a blender with a glass of water.

• To increase the taste and benefits, you can add juice of half a lemon and a pinch of black salt to it.

Caution: Although coriander juice is extremely beneficial, if you are pregnant or suffering from any serious kidney disease, then definitely consult your doctor before starting it regularly.
