What are the benefits and disadvantages of eating too much coriander?

Cilantro, scientific name is coriander, also known as coriander. Because its stems and leaves contain a special aromatic flavor, it is commonly known as coriander among the people. Coriander is rich in nutrients. The carotene content is more than 10 times that of tomatoes, cucumbers, and eggplants, and the calcium and iron content are also higher than many other leafy vegetables. The vitamin C content is much higher than that of ordinary vegetables. The average person can meet the body's demand for vitamin C by eating 7-10 grams of coriander leaves. In addition, the young stems and leaves of coriander also contain mannitol volatile oil substances, which is the main reason for its special fragrance. This fragrance has the functions of stimulating appetite, promoting digestion, clearing away heat and relieving summer heat. Disadvantages: Although coriander is good, it has taboos. Generally speaking, do not eat rotten or yellowed coriander, because such coriander has no aroma, not only has no above-mentioned effects, but may also produce toxins. When taking tonics and traditional Chinese medicines such as Atractylodes and Danbark, it is not advisable to take coriander to avoid reducing the efficacy of the tonics. Because coriander has the volatile function of "connecting the heart and spleen internally and reaching the limbs externally", some patients cannot eat it. The famous doctor Hua Tuo believes that people suffering from bad breath, body odor, dental caries, and sores should not eat coriander, as eating it will aggravate the condition. In addition, people with Qi deficiency should not eat too much coriander. Eating a lot of coriander can also cause forgetfulness in some people.
