Aromatherapy Properties:
(Uses)
The essential
oil resides in the pericarp, not in the seed. Spicy, warm, licorice-like
aroma like anise seed, but slightly stronger. Fishermen use it to mask human
scent while fishing. Well known for its effect on the digestive system. May
have a good effect on asthma and breathing difficulties. Anise has
estrogen-like properties, is an emmenagogue, aids childbirth, increases milk
secretion, and is antispasmodic for nerves and muscles. Anise is indicated
for lack of menstruation, menopause, colitis, and poor breathing due to
nerves. In the East it is used to
combat colic and rheumatism. |

seeds.
