Fennel Seeds – Guide To Herbal Remedies
Fennel seed which is known as natural way to ease mild digestive disorders such as an upset stomach or flatulence has an interesting history. According to Pamela Allardice author of Natural Remedies A-Z, “Greek athletes training for their Olympic games consumed fennel seed to give them strength and to keep their weight under control. Fennel was thought to be a slimming agent, and a possible derivation for its Greek nickname, marathon, is marathron, meaning to grow thinner. Fennel seeds were also used to allay hunger pangs, in much the same way dill seeds were.” You might even say fennel seeds are a weight loss food.
Fennel is a carminative and digestive herb and has been used for centuries to alleviate colic and flatulence. You can chew the seeds or drink fennel tea. Sometimes in Indian or Middle Eastern food markets you can find candied fennel which tastes good (has a slight licorice taste). You can also find fennel seeds in the spice section of your grocery store. You can make your own fennel tea by bruising (use a mortal and pestle) two teaspoons of fennel seeds in one cup boiling water and steep for ten minutes. Drink the tea up to three times a day.
You can also use this fennel tea as an eyewash as relief for irritated eyes. Often our eyes get irritated from allergies. You must let the tea cool completely before applying it to your eyes. Either bathe your eyes with the liquid or dip two of those square or round pads in the tea and place them on your eyes for 15 minutes.
Fennel is also a natural breath freshener.
