Cilantro essential oil is a circulation superhero! It encourages healthy blood flow to the skin and muscles, which results in a glowing and nourished complexion. This same circulatory action is beneficial for sore, stiff and achy muscles, and a couple drops in a carrier oil of your choice makes a wonderful sore muscle rub. Cilantro is also very high in free radical neutralizing antioxidants, making it superb for use in anti aging skin care. For the aromatherapy minded, cilantro essential oil is a calming tonic for the mind, so don't hesitate to place a couple drops neat on your temples or in the diffuser when you need some relaxing and rejuvenating aromatherapy. 

 Interestingly, due to cilantro's estrogen-like content, cilantro has estrogen-like effects that sometimes helps regulate menstruation and control pain related to menstruation. Many women have also found it useful during menopause, and many more when recovering from a difficult childbirth.
