Coriander seed essential oil is a highly aromatic and versatile oil derived from the seeds of the coriander plant (Coriandrum sativum), which is also known as cilantro or Chinese parsley. The coriander plant is native to regions of Southern Europe, North Africa, and Western Asia and has been used for centuries both as a culinary herb and for its medicinal properties.
The essential oil is extracted from the seeds through a steam distillation process, which ensures that the potent aromatic compounds are carefully preserved. The resulting oil possesses a sweet, spicy, and slightly woody fragrance with subtle citrus undertones, making it a popular choice for various aromatherapy applications.
