Cilantro is a leafy herb that is non-toxic and lower in oxalates and calcium than many other herbs, so it works well as part of a daily rotation. Wash it and introduce it gradually.

Yes - coriander and cilantro are the same plant (the leaves/stems are usually called cilantro, the dried seeds coriander). The leaves and stems are fine in moderation; the seeds are better avoided.
