Hi all, I did a bit of Google Scholar searching for research articles about cilantro and its potential medicinal use. While the effects and results some of you are experiencing are promising, please note that there isn't yet enough information to know for sure if cilantro is safe when taken as a medicine. More research is required.

I agree @gardeningjunkie that it is valuable to tell your specialists about your experience with cilantro. Gathering anecdotal evidence is often the first step to prompting more research. Here's more info to help your conversation with your allergist and dermatologist. (Note, for some people cilantro can cause allergic reactions.)

@gardeningjunkie I am checking in to let all know that the cilantro is now a daily part of my life. I separate one bunch into four sections and freeze in baggies. (Depends on size of your bunch but my bunch is about 40 stems). I hardly taste it in my smoothie anymore because of all the liquid and fruit I add. I informed my dermatologist last month and he is researching it. (Smart doc.) Traveling for the next three weeks and have already made arrangements to have a blender with all the ingredients I need at my destinations since they are homes of relatives. Bringing pills just in case. Curious to know how @frogger does in Pacific Northwest. Picturing @gardeningjunkie turning green!!!! 🙂
