Fennel Sweet Essential Oil

The Sweet Fennel plant has an interesting and varied history. Its uses span back thousands of years with the Romans using it to treat no less than 21 ailments and the Greeks hailing it as a natural contraceptive in their attempts to control the population. In modern times, we have moved on from these ancient ideas, but Fennel is still considered as a plant bursting with beneficial properties for body and mind. Fennel is used in the practice of aromatherapy to strengthen and restore the mind, encouraging inspired and posi-tive thinking. It is also synonymous for its treatment of female concerns such as an uneven menstrual cycle or for reducing the hot flushes of menopause. Used in a massage blend Fennel’s aniseed like properties can also assist in soothing digestive issues. Try mixing the oil in a carrier and applying to the stomach in gentle, clockwise motions.
