Fennel
Foeniculum vulgare
Fennel is not one of the more readily used essential oils, but this oil derived from a small seed has quite a few therapeutic properties. From emotions, to respiratory system, to digestion and female systems... if you are looking for a soothing option this oil might be for you. This oil does have a few medical contraindications (including in pregnancy, estrogen dependent cancers and occasionally for anti-coagulant drug users) so be sure to check with your doctor or pharmacist if you have reason to be concerned.
Description:
Fennel can grow up to six feet in height and has delicate, feathery leaves. The history of Fennel use dates back to ancient times when Roman warriors were said to have consumed Fennel to make them strong and ready for battle. Fennel is best known for its distinct licorice aroma and taste, yet its ability to promote healthy digestion is equally noteworthy.* Fennel may help support the health of the lungs and respiratory tract and can be added to water or tea to help fight sweet tooth cravings.* Fennel is also known for its ability to promote healthy metabolism, liver function, and circulation.*
