Fennel Oleoresin

FENNEL (Sweet) Foeniculum vulgare:This essential oil has an anise scent and flavor. One of the most importantfacts about Fennel is that it is anti-toxic oil. According to Patricia Davisits most valuable application is in counterbalancing alcoholic poisoning, andit has played an important part in the treatment and rehabilitation ofalcoholics. It also helps with gout, arthritis etc, to prevent the build-up oftoxic waste in the body which precedes the inflammatory condition of thejoints. It is helpful to regularize the menstrual cycle, particularly whereperiods are scanty and painful with cramping pains. I use Fennel a lot forquick relief of indigestion and nausea. And it also helps to decrease theappetite!
