Fennel BIO

Fennel BIO* – a versatile herb

Fennel is an aromatic herb, full of flavours, which is used for cooking but also for medicinal purposes.
The taste and the scent remind me a bit of aniseed, and it is also one of the main ingredients for absinthe.
As a medicinal cure, fennel tea is often used for upset stomachs but also to reduce flatulence or colic.
It may also be used for babies who suffer from colics (talk to your GP first).
It is also used as a diuretic and might help with hypertension.
To prepare the tea, it is essential that you crush the seeds first of all, e.g. with a rolling pin or an empty bottle. This way, the seeds will release the essential oils.
During the steeping time, we recommend that you cover up your mug with a saucer or use one of our herbal tea mugs. The essential oils will not evaporate but stay in the tea.
