Fennel Tea

A member of the carrot family, Fennel (Foeniculum vulgare) is a native of Italy and one of the most ancient of cultivated plants.

Fennel seed is a herb that relieves colic, gas and disconfrot in the digestive tract. It also act as a mild laxative and intestinal relaxant.

Fennel tea may be used for constipation, gas, nausea. It is also used to loose mucous from colds and bronchitis.
Clinical studies have shown that fennel, as part of the diet, helps regulate contractions of the small intestine and aids gas expulsion.
Fennel also relaxes the gut, which can relieve spasms of the gastro intestinal tract. As a result, fennel assists in the dietary management of Irritable Bowel Syndrome symptoms, and is exceptional for Irritable Bowel Syndrome bloating, gas and abdominal pain.
Fennel is also a traditional digestive aid for colic, heartburn, indigestion, and stomachaches.

This herb can support the body in its natural task of detoxification and discourage a common ‘rumbling stomach’. Since medieval times this herb has been taken after meals to support the digestion process. In recent times, studies have investigated this herb for its benefits on the smooth muscle of the digestive tract.

Tea formulations can be used instead of capsulized herbs to stimulate colonic muscle and initiate bowel emptying.

This tea works very well to to get rid of the swelling,(bloating) associated with the lower bowls. I use 2 teabags at a time in 6-8 oz of water.

Fennel water has properties similar to those of anise and dill water: mixed with sodium bicarbonate and syrup, these waters constitute the domestic 'Gripe Water', used to ease flatulence in infants; it also can be made into a syrup to treat babies with colic or painful teething.

Interestingly Mrs M. Grieve (the famous herbalist) said "formerly poor people used to eat Fennel to satisfy the cravings of hunger on fast days".
