-
Indigestion & Bloating Relief:
-
Vietnamese coriander has carminative properties (can reduce gas).
-
Used in Southeast Asian cuisine to aid digestion—mild use is likely safe.
-
-
Flu & Cold Relief:
-
Herbal teas with ginger, perilla, and coriander may help mildly due to warming and diaphoretic effects (promoting sweating).
-
-
Skin Conditions (ringworm, scabies, bruises):
-
External application of herbal alcohol infusions is common in traditional medicine.
-
Mild antibacterial and antifungal activity has been reported in some herbs, but effectiveness is often limited or unproven.
-
⚠️ Unsubstantiated or Dubious Claims:
-
Sexual Performance (“2 hours nonstop”):
-
There is no clinical evidence that Vietnamese coriander enhances sexual performance.
-
Such anecdotes may be placebo effects or exaggerations.
-
-
“Lose 16 kg in 2 weeks” with a glass before bed:
-
This is highly unrealistic and unsafe. Healthy, sustainable weight loss is about 0.5–1 kg/week.
-
Rapid weight loss claims are often marketing hype or unsafe practices.
-
-
Heart Pain / Paralysis / Snakebite:
-
These are medical emergencies. Traditional remedies are not a substitute for proper medical treatment.
-
🩺 Important Notes:
-
Always consult a doctor before using herbs for health—especially if you have existing conditions or are taking medications.
-
Herbs can cause allergic reactions or interfere with treatments.
-
External application (e.g., for bruises or rashes) may be less risky, but still requires caution.
