Fennel Essential Oil - 10 ml

Fennel Essential Oil is derived from the crushed seeds of the Foeniculum vulgare var. dulce plant, commonly known as sweet fennel or Roman fennel. Extracted through steam distillation, this oil, much like the seeds, is renowned for its digestive benefits and a range of other therapeutic uses. In aromatherapy, it is employed to address issues such as oily skin, wrinkles, and obesity while promoting courage, resolve, and strength.

A popular remedy for digestive problems, Fennel Essential Oil is utilized for issues like flatulence, constipation, colic, nausea, vomiting, anorexia, and dyspepsia. Additionally, it is believed to aid in weight loss by inducing a feeling of a full stomach and possesses a diuretic effect that may help disperse cellulite. The oil is thought to tone the spleen and liver, offering a cleansing and toning effect on the skin and assistance with bruises.

However, it's essential to note that Fennel oil should be used cautiously and avoided in large doses, especially during pregnancy, lactation, for those with breast cancer, and individuals with epilepsy. The word "Fennel" is derived from the Latin 'foenum,' meaning 'hay,' and has a rich history of use by ancient Chinese, Egyptians, and Romans, who believed in its ability to promote longevity, courage, and strength. It was also thought to ward off evil spirits and had applications in strengthening eyesight, treating snakebites, and easing colic. In Indian culture, fennel seeds, known as 'saunf,' are often served after meals to aid digestion.
