520 _aAbstract: The goal of the study is to prove that cilantro has an anticoagulant property in vitro. Cilantro or coriander is an herb and spice used to add flavor to food, for home remedies and for experimental therapies. It was used as an alternative to chelation therapy, even coned "The Poor Man`s Chelation Therapy" which consist of recipe that helps accelerate the eradication of mercury, lead and aluminum from body, (Omura, 1998) As a anticoagulant, it was proven to be effective in vivo using mice as their primary specimen for testing. (Mahendra et al., 2011) In an attempt to broaden the study about Cilantro,t eh researchers thought of utilizing natural and pure extract to e used in vitro. The researchers determined the optimal concentration of cilantro extract with the highest anticoagulant activity through experimental method. In the experiment done EDTA was used as the positive control whereas a whole blood with no anticoagulant was used as the negative control. The length of time in which clot formation occurs was recorded. In addition, the morphologic appearance of the red and white blood cells was also noted. Results showed that a concentration of 0.3 ml of cilantro extract with 1.0 ml of blood produced the optimal anticoagulant activity. Moreover, the morphologic appearance of the red blood cell produced releaux formation, whereas the white blood cells appeared the same as that of the EDTA treated blood smear.
