Cilantro is natural detoxification

Our bodies are exposed to heavy metals every day via food, water, pharmaceuticals, manufactured products, pollution, and more. When heavy metals accumulate to reach toxic levels, they can lead to an array of symptoms and chronic conditions. The chemical compounds in cilantro act as natural cleansing agents, binding to toxic metals and loosening them for easier transport out of the body.

Known for its unique, can’t-be-mistaken flavor and commonly used in Mexican cooking, cilantro can be incorporated into all kinds of food – poultry and fish dishes, salads, salsas, blended smoothies, and more. It can easily be found in grocery stores and nurseries, should you want to add it to your herb garden.



Two favorite salads that have a lot of cilantro are


  • Asian chopped salad with sesame ginger dressing - See recipe on this blog

  • Taco salad
