What Happened
Coriander seeds are being promoted online as a remedy for blocked noses and breathing issues. The viral hack involves roasting seeds, placing them on tissue paper, and inhaling the aroma. Dr. Karuna Malhotra explains that coriander contains antioxidants, anti-inflammatory compounds, and essential oils like linalool with antimicrobial properties. These may help relax airways, clear mucus, and reduce inflammation. However, coriander should not replace conventional medical treatment for severe conditions. Consult healthcare professionals before starting any new remedy.
