Coriander - Not just for your curry!
Coriander (Coriandrum sativum) essential oil is chemically similar to lavender essential oil, sharing several of the same chemical constituents, so it has many of the same soothing benefits. It has a pleasant, spicy aroma that can help boost your mood and energize your day, or that of your dog!
.
Coriander seed oil has been shown to:
.
* Lift feelings of apathy and ease anxiety
* Promote feelings of happiness, comfort, and self-confidence
* Stimulate and aids digestion
* Relieve abdominal cramps, gas, and hiccups
* Acts as a gentle stimulant when tired
* Promote relaxation
* Stimulate circulation
* Relieve stiffness and pain in muscles and joints
.
If you think you or your dog might benefit from Coriander seed essential oil, bear in mind that you should NEVER force a scent on your dog, so just offer them the bottle to sniff, rather than diffusing it in the room where they can't escape from it. Their noses are very sensitive and a little goes a long way. Less is more!
