Key Findings
- Researchers at Addis Ababa University studied the antimalarial effects of coriander (Coriandrum sativum) in mice
- The coriander extract was non-toxic and significantly reduced malaria parasite levels in all test models
- The highest reduction in parasite load was 82.74% in the suppressive test at the highest dose
