Stimulant, aromatic and carminative. The powdered fruit, fluid extract and oil are chiefly used medicinally as flavouring to disguise the taste of active purgatives and correct their griping tendencies.
If used too freely the seeds become narcotic.
Coriander water was formerly much esteemed as a carminative for windy colic.
