Synopsis
Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 2
Coriander (Coriandrum sativum) has a long history of use in traditional medicine systems, including Ayurveda and Unani, for skin conditions such as rashes and hives (urticaria). Traditionally, both the seeds and leaves have been employed topically as poultices or in decoctions to soothe irritated skin, reduce itching, and promote healing. The rationale is often attributed to its purported cooling, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial properties as described in historic texts. While coriander contains bioactive compounds like linalool and flavonoids, which have demonstrated anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects in laboratory settings, there is a lack of direct, high-quality clinical studies evaluating coriander’s efficacy specifically for rashes or hives in humans. Most available evidence remains anecdotal or derived from in vitro or animal studies, which do not directly translate to clear clinical recommendations. Therefore, while coriander's use for rashes and hives is well-rooted in traditional medicine, scientific validation supporting its efficacy for these specific conditions remains limited, and its role in standard dermatological practice is not established.
