Cilantro Oil
Releasing Control
Cilantro facilitates a detoxification of negative emotions and debris. It is helpful in lightening one’s load through the release of issues buried in the body, heart, and soul. Similar to Coriander oil, which is distilled from the seeds of the same plant, Cilantro assists individuals in shedding what is not in harmony with their True Self.
Those in need of Cilantro may attempt to obsessively control other people or manage their
environment. Inwardly, these individuals may experience a great deal of worry and mental strain. They may become constricted, clinging to or obsessing over material possessions. Individuals may even hold onto the very patterns, emotions, issues, and possessions that may impair or betray their True Self.
Cilantro facilitates emotional cleansing, and especially encourages the release of worry and control as it assists individuals in centering in their True Self. Cilantro liberates the soul from heavy burdens, enabling the individual to live light and free.
