What is Fennel Tea good for

Fennel Tea (plant) is a digestive tea recommended for the relief of stomach discomfort caused, for example, by indigestion, heartburn, or food intolerance. It is also very suitable to help treat intestinal problems such as diarrhoea, constipation, and irritable bowel syndrome. Fennel Tea can be an excellent ally in relieving menstrual cramps, increasing drowsiness (ideal for insomnia), and muscle relaxation.

Other indications: anxiety, vomiting, infections, cough, fluid retention, low immunity, anorexia, and bad breath.

Curiosities:

Fennel is a versatile vegetable that plays a role in the Food Culture in several European countries, especially France and Italy. Its aromatic flavour is unique, even reminiscent of aniseed liquor, so much so that it is often, and erroneously, referred to as aniseed in many markets.
