Cilantro is the name for the leaf of the plant Coriander and it is used in Asian, mexican, Indian, Tex Mex, Caribbean, and North African cuisines
Cilantro is a remarkable heavy metal detoxifier as it has been found to remove heavy metals from the body. These metals usually enter the body through consumption of non-organic food, using conventional water supplies, eating fish, using deodorants, smoking, cooking in aluminum vessels or aluminum foil, taking over the counter drugs like antacids, using vaccines or metal fillings in teeth. They cause serious heart problems like cancer, brain deterioration, emotional problems, heart, kidney and lung diseases, and weak bones.
Cilantro has the ability to mobilize mercury from the brain and central nervous system by separating it from the fat tissue and transferring it into the blood and lymph where it gets removed. Can provide relief from mercury poisoning and toxicity. The different chemical compounds in cilantro bind to toxic metals and help with their removal by loosening them from the tissues.
