The Greeks believed Coriander oil to be an inhibitor of sexual desires, yet it has shown itself to be an effective aphrodisiac and stimulant.
It has the notable capacity to reinforce the level of inebriation caused by alcoholic consumption.
Coriander helps us to abandon our rational side and allows us to move towards compelling experiences.
Whoever remains closed, hyper-rational, or incapable of expressing their own personal feelings and sensations can be gently guided by coriander to a simple world where emotions reign supreme.
