It is said to strengthen courage, determination, and strength.

This oil is a popular remedy for digestive problems such as bloating, constipation, colic, nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, and indigestion. It also helps with weight loss as it is said to promote a feeling of fullness. Its diuretic effect is said to combat cellulite. Fennel oil is believed to strengthen the spleen and liver. It has a cleansing and firming effect on the skin and helps with bruises. Please note that this oil should not be used in large doses. It should be completely avoided during pregnancy, breastfeeding, as well as in cases of breast cancer and epilepsy.

The word fennel derives from the Latin “foenum,” meaning “hay.” In the Middle Ages, it was known as “fenkle.” It was a popular herb among the ancient Chinese, Egyptians, and Romans, who believed that fennel prolonged life and strengthened courage and strength. It was also believed to ward off evil spirits. Fennel is said to have strengthened eyesight, healed snake bites, and relieved colic. In India, simple roasted or mint-coated fennel seeds, “Saunf,” are often served after meals to aid digestion.
