Fennel is native to the Mediterranean but has become naturalized across the world. It contains the compound anethole which gives fennel its characteristic licorice-like scent. It is considered an astringent, tonic, stimulant, and contains estrogenic properties.
Although it's traditionally used for supporting the digestive system, it may also help the urinary, hormonal, and sympathetic nervous systems through its various chemical compounds and properties. It's popular in teas to help aid with digestion.
Emotionally and spiritually, fennel is said to support a person's responsibility (or confidence in their ability to respond). This means it might help a person struggling with self-doubt, low self-esteem, lack of motivation, accountability, or stubbornness, and help them live in alignment with their values and integrity. Historically, it was even used to bestow strength and courage to warriors and may support stamina and longevity by strengthening the solar plexus.
Fennel essential oil is a suitable addition for cosmetic applications, personal care formulations, soaps, perfumery, insect repellents, and aromatherapy.
