FENNEL - STOMACH TONIC
Mode Of Action
Fennel infusion promotes the proper functioning of the digestive system, especially the stomach and intestines. Its carminative properties prevent the formation of gas and bloating and its antispasmodic effect relieves spasms in the entire digestive tract.
It relieves intestinal cramps and is particularly interesting for digestive troubles in children. Studies have shown that fennel, in combination with other herbs, relieves colic and digestive discomfort in babies.
The anethole contained in fennel is mildly laxative and prevents fermentation in the intestines. It is an anti-inflammatory used to treat irritable bowel syndrome.
Fennel supports stomach function. It stimulates appetite and the production of gastric juice and is useful to boost a lazy and slow stomach. Its antispasmodic action reduces nausea and vomiting. Fennel also stimulates the production of bile and prevents gallstones.
Foeniculum vulgare is anti-inflammatory and a mild bronchodilator. It reduces bronchial spasms and its essential oils break down mucus. Its expectorant properties help eliminate mucus in the respiratory tract and ease breathing. It is used for chronic cough and for respiratory infection accompanied by coughing. It is also antimicrobial.
Fennel stimulates the production of milk in nursing mothers and insures high levels of fat in breast milk. It is also used for dysmenorrhea. Fennel is diuretic and antioxidant. Its main constituents are tocopherols, essential oils (anethole, fenchone, estragole, limonene), fatty acids (oleic acid, linoleic acid), flavonoids (kaempferol, quercetin, rutin), coumarins, proteins, sugars, vitamins (β-carotene, C) and minerals (Ca, Mg, K, Fe).
