Description
Fennel has long been used for digestive issues and as an aid to weight loss. Whether you’re suffering from an occasional bellyache, diarrhea, or have chronic gas, Fennel essential oil may offer relief. To alleviate digestive troubles, some prefer to rub a few diluted drops topically on their tummy while others may add a drop or two to their favorite tea, or simply diffuse a few drops nearby.
There is a range of uses for Fennel beyond those related to weight loss and as a soothing agent for the gut. It can be used to help with arthritis, increase lactation, and to help heal and protect minor cuts and scrapes and more. Some enjoy diffusing Fennel to boost mental clarity while they practice yoga or during quiet meditation. Thanks to its usefulness in a range of everyday issues, Fennel has become a popular go-to oil for day-to-day concerns.
