Guest guest Posted August 13, 2001 Report Share Posted August 13, 2001 Good Morning! Fennel FENNEL This sweet-smelling flower serves double-duty as a remedy for headaches, coughs and as a cooking garnish. The berries, roots, and stems are all used for such maladies as abdominal pain, colon disorders, and gastrointestinal tract problems. Good after chemotherapy and radiation therapy for cancer. A carminative, fennel helps expel gas from the intestinal tract. One of the most effective and easiest to get is fennel seed, which you can buy in the spice section of any supermarket. Try chewing a half- teaspoon of fennel seeds at the end of a meal or any time you feel distended from gas. The inhalation of essential oils, which can occur during massage using essential oils, via essential oil diffusers, etc., has been shown to have both physiological and psychological effects, and to affect the central nervous system. Research at the Monell Chemical Senses Center (Philadelphia, PA) have shown that sweet Fennel essential oil can reduce mental stress and fatigue.
