Guarantee 100% natural products.

Fennel seed oil is an essential oil extracted from the seeds of the fennel plant, scientifically known as Foeniculum vulgare. Fennel is a flowering herb belonging to the carrot family (Apiaceae) and is native to the Mediterranean region, although it is now cultivated in many parts of the world for its culinary and medicinal uses.

The oil is obtained through steam distillation of the crushed seeds, resulting in a highly aromatic and concentrated liquid with a sweet, spicy, and slightly licorice-like aroma.

Here are some common uses and benefits of fennel seed oil:

Digestive Health: Fennel seed oil is prized for its digestive properties and can help alleviate symptoms of indigestion, bloating, gas, and stomach upset. It can help stimulate digestion, reduce flatulence, and soothe stomach discomfort when diluted and massaged onto the abdomen or added to a warm cup of tea.

Respiratory Support: Fennel seed oil is believed to have respiratory benefits and can help relieve symptoms of congestion, coughs, and respiratory infections. Inhaling fennel seed oil through steam inhalation or diffusing it in the air can help clear the airways and promote easier breathing.

Hormonal Balance: Fennel seed oil contains compounds that mimic estrogen, making it useful for supporting hormonal balance in women. It may help alleviate symptoms of PMS (premenstrual syndrome) and menopause, such as menstrual cramps, bloating, and hot flashes.

Breast Health: Fennel seed oil is sometimes used to support breast health and lactation in nursing mothers. It is believed to help stimulate milk production and improve milk flow when diluted and applied topically to the breasts or consumed orally in small amounts.

Culinary Uses: Fennel seed oil is often used as a flavoring agent in culinary applications. It adds a sweet, aromatic flavor to dishes such as soups, stews, salads, and baked goods. Fennel seed oil can also be used to flavor beverages such as tea, coffee, and cocktails.
