Coriander seed, namely coriander seed water, is promoted as a natural remedy that balances hormone levels to benefit both hypo- and hyperthyroidism. Coriander seeds contain compounds like coumarin that have been shown to lower thyroid hormones, at least in rats. However, the amounts fed to the rats in these studies is much greater than the maximum amount humans typically consume. Before using coriander seed preparations to treat a thyroid condition, consult with a qualified healthcare practitioner for proper care and guidance.

The thyroid gland plays a key role in growth and metabolism by producing thyroid hormones. An imbalance in the thyroid hormones may result to either hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism which are too little and too much thyroid hormones respectively. Coriander seeds help the thyroid gland by treating imbalances in the production of the thyroid hormones. This is made possible by the actions of different antioxidants found in coriander.
