Fennel: traditional plant

Fennel is one of the beneficial plants, which are already introduced to us at a very early age. Almost all parents of a new-born have fennel tea available. But fennel is not only suitable for children. Heavy high-fat meals, food intolerances, stress or a low-fibre diet can upset our stomach. Traditionally, fennel is known to be soothing for people of all ages.

Ingredients of fennel

Bitter fennel has a considerably higher content of the plant substance fenchone. Sweet fennel only contains small amounts of fenchone or none at all.
Fenchone is the oil of fennel, which kills off microorganisms. It has a bitter taste and a camphor-like smell. It can be soothing for the intestinal muscles and promotes the natural movement of the intestines.
Another important essential oil of the fennel seed is anethole. Apart from fennel, it is naturally contained in anise and star anise. It is able to stimulate the production of gastric juice and accelerate the movement of the gastrointestinal tract. Higher amounts of anethol calm the stomach and the intestines.
Furthermore, fennel contains mineral salts, vitamin A, B and C.
