Oil Name:
Fennel
Botanical Name
Foeniculum vulgare
Description
The name Foeniculum is Latin for “little hay”. Its aroma is wonderfully yet vaguely reminiscent of the late summer sweet smell of drying hay yet it is even more similar to the licorice and anise aromas found in a happy creative kitchen or a good bakery. It smells healthy yet not like a medicine, much more fun like candy or cookies. More than 50% of the Fennel Essential Oil is distilled from what is termed the “seeds”, which are actually the fruit of the plant. It makes a very pleasant skin care and is associated with many female related concerns, yet it is not recommended in high doses (of which treatments at Venturoma are not) for women who are pregnant. This curious contradiction is most likely the result of the nonspecific capabilities of its estrogen-like activity, perhaps best left alone during pregnancy. Interestingly, it is recommended to stimulate the flow of breast milk, problems with PMS, and other feminine symptoms. In 1957 the Fennel Essential Oil was reported to have stimulated liver regeneration in rats. Additionally, one of the primary ingredients in Fennel is anethole, which assists in the metabolism of fats and aids the digestive system yet tends to reduce the appetite. Definitely a well-balanced detoxifying Essential that should become more familiar to a society that is having problems keeping its weight under control.
