· Aroma Note: Middle
Sweet Fennel is a tall, feathery perennial herb with golden-yellow flowers. It has been used since antiquity—Roman warriors ate the seeds for strength, and the Greeks used it as a slimming aid. The essential oil is clear with a very distinct, sweet, and peppery aroma that smells strongly of aniseed or licorice. It is one of the most effective "detoxifying" oils in the aromatherapist's toolkit.
Antiseptic, Antispasmodic, Carminative, Depurative, Detoxifying, Diuretic, Emmenagogue, Galactagogue, Laxative, Stimulant (digestive), Stomachic, Tonic, Vermifuge.
· Skin: Dull, oily, and mature skin. It has a cleansing and toning effect on the complexion and is often used to treat "puffy" skin or bags under the eyes.
· Respiratory: Spasmodic coughs and asthma; it helps to relax the lungs and ease breathing.
· Digestive: Colic, constipation, dyspepsia, flatulence, indigestion, and nausea. It is a powerful digestive stimulant that helps move food through the system.
· Circulatory/Muscular: Cellulite, edema (fluid retention), and obesity. It helps the body eliminate toxic waste and excess water.
· Genito-Urinary: Amenorrhea, menopausal symptoms, and insufficient milk supply in nursing mothers. It contains phytoestrogens that help balance the female reproductive system.
Fennel is the "Oil of Responsibility." It is used to help those who are overwhelmed by life's demands and feel they cannot "digest" everything on their plate. It provides the courage to stand up for one's self and encourages the completion of projects, helping to turn "vague ideas" into concrete reality.
1. Digestive Tummy Massage: Mix 2 drops of Fennel and 2 drops of Peppermint in a teaspoon of carrier oil. Massage the abdomen in a clockwise direction to relieve bloating, gas, or "heavy" stomach.
2. Anti-Cellulite Body Oil: Combine 4 drops of Fennel with 4 drops of Juniper Berry in 30ml of carrier oil. Massage into areas of cellulite or fluid retention to stimulate the lymphatic system.
3. Hiccup Soother: Inhale Fennel directly from the bottle or on a tissue to help stop persistent hiccups by relaxing the diaphragm.
