Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 2

Coriander (Coriandrum sativum) has a long history of use in traditional systems of medicine, particularly in Ayurveda, Unani, and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), where it is commonly employed to stimulate the appetite and support digestion in cases of deficiency. In these traditions, coriander seeds or leaves are often included in formulations for individuals experiencing poor appetite, bloating, or digestive sluggishness. The rationale is that coriander is thought to have carminative and stomachic properties—meaning it helps relieve flatulence and promotes the secretion of digestive enzymes, thereby enhancing hunger and the desire to eat.

Scientific evidence supporting coriander's use specifically for appetite stimulation is limited. While some pharmacological studies have indicated that coriander may have digestive benefits, such as promoting gastric secretion or exerting mild spasmolytic effects, direct clinical trials measuring its effect on appetite in humans are lacking. Most of the support for using coriander in this context is thus derived from traditional practice rather than modern scientific validation. Overall, coriander's reputation as an appetite stimulant persists primarily due to its longstanding use in traditional medical systems and anecdotal reports rather than robust clinical evidence.
