Background and Use

The use of Fennel dates back to the ancient Romans and Greeks.  It originates from the Mediterranean but has been a traditional herbal medicine in China and Europe.  The seeds are commonly chewed after a meal in India to promote good digestion and to freshen up the breath.  In the west, Fennel is used primarily as a tea to ease infants during their colicky first weeks.  It is sometimes administered to the infants directly or may be drunk by the nursing mother.  Recent published studies support this traditional use. 

Precautions

Not recommended for use during pregnancy until further research verifies no contraindications. Keep out of reach of children. Discontinue if unusual symptoms occur.  Use cautiously in patients with celery, carrot, or Mugwort sensitivity since there is the chance of cross-sensitization to Fennel.
