Fennel for Indigestion, Cooking and More Known as the “dessert” oil in many households, one sniff of Fennel essential oil will bring back memories of eating your favorite licorice flavored candy. Although its sweet and refreshing aroma can remind you of your favorite candy, it also has the ability to do much more. Fennel has been used for centuries for its many health benefits. Steam distilled from the crushed seeds, Fennel contains anti-parasitic, antiseptic, antioxidant, and diuretic properties. Fennel is often used to help relieve indigestion, support improvements to the lymphatic system, and can help with bruises, parasites, lactation, and more. Fennel is also used in dōTERRA’s digestive essential oil blend, DigestZen, and is helpful in providing aid to any kind of digestive issue. Tips from dōTERRA: Upset stomach? Rub Fennel on your stomach or on the bottom of your feet to help ease the discomfort. Put a drop of Fennel under your tongue to help fight your sweet tooth cravings. Add to desserts for an additional depth of flavor. Try adding Fennel in homemade caramel, fudge, cookies, frosting, or sweet teas. Add 1-2 drops in a glass of warm water or tea to help settle digestive upset.
