Description
Fennel Seed is commonly used for bronchitis and coughs, and as a tonic for intestinal tract and female genitals. It is also an effective lactation aid.
Fennel is also a remedy for digestive problems, such as mild spasms in the stomach or intestines, a feeling of fullness, and intestinal gas; and in Asian medicine, it is used for anemia, bloating, heartburn, vomiting, diarrhea, hernia, skin diseases, and repeated bouts of intense thirst. Its effectiveness for these conditions has not, however, been scientifically verified.
Fennel stimulates movement of food through the stomach and intestines; in higher doses it puts a stop to intestinal spasms. Lab experiments have revealed substances in Fennel that show an ability to dry up respiratory phlegm and destroy germs. The part of the fennel plant used medicinally is the dried seed and its oil. Fennel first grew in the Mediterranean region, then spread to England, Germany, and Argentina. Today, it also grows in Iran, Iraq, and China. The plant's scientific name is from the Latin "foenum," which means hay. This name evolved into "Fanculum" during the Middle Ages, later becoming "Fenkel," and finally "Fennel."
