Fennel has long been used in Arabic, Greek, Indian, and European medicine lineages. The versatility, efficacy, and gentleness of this herb is what makes fennel so well loved. Alongside of it’s digestive benefits, it is also an effective galactagogue, supporting breast milk production. Fennel also has the ability to relieve colic symptoms in infants by transferring those medicinal properties through the milk. Even a teaspoon of fennel tea can be given to small children in times of digestive upset, which speaks to its gentle healing powers.
Why we love this herb:
Fennel is a prime example of how everyday, common kitchen herbs and spices are actually very medicinal. Whether you’ve eaten the bulb in a salad, or added the seeds into a soup, the benefits carry wide and far. By consuming a fennel tincture, drinking fennel tea, or even chewing a few seeds after a meal can support digestion and relieve gas, bloating, and belching.
