With the warm, rich scent of black licorice, Anise Star Essential Oil is
a fragrance not soon forgotten. For hundreds of years, this essential
oil has been used to help treat digestive and respiratory disorders.
Across the world, people will dilute a very small amount of Anise oil
into a vegetable carrier oil and use to massage an upset tummy or
congested chest. Anise oil is also commonly found in soaps geared
towards the outdoors enthusiast, as it is said to mask the human scent.
Many even claim that fish are attracted to the scent of anise oil.
How Anise Star Essential Oil Can Benefit You: Anise is said to promote digestion, alleviates cramps and nausea, cough, colds, and relieves flatulence, bad breath, and, especially in infants, colic.
