doTERRA Fennel Essential Oil is best known as a powerful ingredient for great digestive health and to improve a sluggish digestion. It can help with gut spasms, acts as a carminative to prevent and relieve gas and bloating and, as a depurative, it has purifying and detoxifying effects. In ancient times, its purifying qualities were thought to drive away unwanted spirits.

Like its root plant, it has a licorice-like flavour and an aroma that’s developed from crushing the seeds of the fennel plant and going through a process of steam distillation. 

However, Fennel actually has a surprising number of other applications. It  has a long history of use as a weight-loss aid as an appetite suppressant and when eaten, the seeds can stimulate the digestive system. Hence, Fennel seed essential oil can help support weight loss because it can boost your metabolism while suppressing your appetite.

Fennel is also a well-known antiseptic and is great to use on scrapes and wounds. As an expectorant it helps to break down mucus and can help relieve a chesty cough.

It can also be used as a natural laxative to clear the bowels and relieve constipation, but at the same time can also help to clear diarrhea. Along with ginger, peppermint, anise and chamomile, fennel can also alleviate the symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome. 

It's also a natural breath freshenerand can help bring in the flow of milk for nursing mothers.

Fennel is also known as a high antioxidant compound, which means that it can fight free radicals in the body which aids the anti-ageing process.

On the emotional side, it can help calm the mind, soothe emotions, increase focus and therefore productivity. Similarly, it is calming and soothing to the skin when applied topically and can be energising when used in a massage oil. It it also said that it can promote feelings of courage and build self-confidence. In Roman times they ate fennel to prepare them for war.
