Aromatherapy with Fennel, sweet, essential oil

A great option if you like the smell of anise but find it a bit too strong, sweet fennel has a floral scent with an herbal top note and anise-like aroma. A wonderful touch for soaps and hair products because of the delicate green undertones that balance the sweet scent. Its main main qualities are warming and drying. Should be avoided by pregnant women and lactating women, persons with endometriosis and epilepsy.

Fennel is said to help in cases of heat stroke. Soak a handful of seeds in water overnight. Strain the water and add a pinch of salt before drinking.

Sweet fennel essential oil should always be diluted with a carrier oil such as sweet almond or jojoba oil before applying. 

 

 Fennel can rejuvenate dull skin. Boil a tablespoon of seeds in a liter of water. Use as a steam facial for cleansing.

It blends well with other essential oils such as nutmeg, cinnamon, cumin, lavender, peppermint, rose, juniper, lemon and orange.

 

This is one of the lesser expensive essential oils, you should be able to purchase an ounce for $10.00

 

Have a Great Day
