Aromatherapy Share: Essence of the Week - Cilantro Leaf...

Cilantro Leaf, also known as Chinese Parsley, is an annual herb plant from France that has been cultivated since the Neolithic and Early Bronze Age of the Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, and Eastern European regions. It has been cultivated for well over 7,000 years, and has been identified in the Bible and in Ancient Egypt as a healing plant. Cilantro Leaf is a wonderful source of Vitamin C, calcium, magnesium, potassium, and iron.

Cilantro Leaf is a natural pain reliever that helps muscle aches, arthritis, rheumatism, stiffness, and migraine headaches. She supports the common cold and flu, and is anti-fungal, anti-viral, and anti-infection. Cilantro Leaf is great for the heart, the gut, the reproductive system, and the nervous system. She helps us sleep at night, while we remember our past, and endure the trials of life with great stamina.

Energetically, Cilantro Leaf addresses depression, frustration, stress, anxiety, and the feelings of confinement. She grounds us into the Earth Mother, helps us astral travel into the cosmos, and protects us so we can feel limitlessly connected to the higher realms. When we are ready to shift our perceptions, Cilantro Leaf is a great tool for self-understanding, deeper insights, and higher direction.

Anoint this amazing plant onto the areas of concern, like on our painful muscles, onto the belly for gastrointestinal issues, on top of the head for dizziness and headaches, or over the lower pelvis for reproductive harmony. Five to ten drops onto the skin "neat" two to three times a day is a wonderful way to start to work with this powerful plant teacher. Always do a test patch first to see how she works with your body. Listen to the heart, and always anoint with intention and Love.
