Fennel oil is a remedy for digestive complaints such as flatulence, constipation, colic, nausea, vomiting, anorexia, dyspepsia and hiccups. It is also used in cases of obesity, as it promotes that 'full feeling' and has a diuretic effect that helps to disperse cellulite.

For the mind, it adds courage and strength in the face of adversity. It has a cleansing and toning effect on the skin, helping with bruises, sorting out overly oily skin and to fight wrinkles in more mature complexions, possibly due to the estrogenic properties of the oil.

Fennel oil has a herby, slightly spicy smell, much like aniseed and it is clear in viscosity.

It blends well with geranium, lavender, rose and sandalwood.
