Aniseed
Overview
Aniseed
Pimpinella anisum
History & Origin
Aniseed has a long history as both a food flavouring and a plant remedy. It was once considered so valuable that you could pay your taxes with Aniseed, among other spices.
What is it used for?
COUGHS – RESPIRATORY HEALTH – DIGESTION - BREASTFEEDING
Aniseed supports mucus clearance from the lungs and airways and helps to relax a tight chest. This makes it a great support for chest congestion and coughs.
It contains essential oils which are antimicrobial - it helps to fight the bugs which cause respiratory illness. These same essential oils also help relax the gut wall, supporting the digestive system and helping to alleviate gas, bloating and stomach discomfort.
Aniseed has also been used traditionally to support optimal breast milk supply in breastfeeding mothers.
