Uses - Fennel essential oil,
Foeniculum vulgare dulce, is considered good for obstructions of the liver, spleen and gall bladder and digestive complaints.
Can be used locally for conjunctivitis, blepharitis and pharyngitis.On account of its aromatic and carminative properties, Fennel fruit is chiefly used
medicinally with purgatives to allay their tendency to griping and for this purpose forms one of the ingredients of the well-known compound Liquorice
Powder. Fennel water has properties similar to those of anise and
dill water: mixed with sodium bicarbonate and syrup, these waters constitute the
domestic 'Gripe Water,' used to correct the flatulence of infants. Volatile oil of Fennel has these properties in concentration. Fennel is also
largely used for cattle condiments. It is one of the plants which is said to be disliked by fleas, and powdered Fennel has the effect of driving away fleas
from kennels and stables. The plant gives off ozone most readily.
