Synopsis

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

Coriander (Coriandrum sativum) has a long history of use in traditional medicine systems such as Ayurveda and Unani, where it is often employed to support urinary tract health, including the treatment or prevention of urinary tract infections (UTIs). Traditional practitioners have valued coriander seeds for their purported diuretic and anti-inflammatory properties, which are believed to help flush out toxins and microbes from the urinary tract and reduce discomfort associated with UTIs.

However, scientific validation for these uses is limited. Some in vitro and animal studies suggest that coriander extracts possess mild antibacterial and antioxidant activities, but there is insufficient clinical evidence to conclusively demonstrate that coriander is effective for the prevention or treatment of UTIs in humans. Human studies directly evaluating coriander’s effects on UTIs are lacking. As a result, while coriander continues to be recommended in some herbal and traditional remedies for urinary health, its use is largely based on historical and anecdotal reports rather than robust scientific evidence.

In summary, coriander’s use for supporting urinary tract health is primarily justified by tradition, with limited supporting experimental data and no strong clinical trials to validate its efficacy for UTIs.
