Family celebrations at my grandma's house always started with fennel bulb and olives. This traditional Mediterranean appetizer perked up our palate before the holiday meal, stimulating hunger, and priming the digestive system. Sweet and stimulating, fennel functions as an excellent mouth freshener. It possesses a unique combination of stimulating and cooling qualities that stimulate the appetite before meals.
The crispy, vivacious texture of fennel bulb is tempered by a cool quality the calms the mind and increases clarity.
Cleansing and Moisturizing
As a diuretic it purges excess spring water weight and detoxifies the blood. Its diuretic and cooling properties make it excellent for flushing the urinary tract, soothing burning sensations.
However, Fennel is estrogenic in nature, so it moisturizes and builds despite its diuretic nature. Fennel increases growth of breast tissue. It also has diaphoretic properties that increase the flow of milk in lactating mothers.
Clear the Lungs
Many lung formulas utilize fennel to clear phlegm and relieve cough. Ancient Romans regarded fennel as the herb of sight and rightly so, for root extracts of fennel have been used to clear cloudiness of the eyes and cure glaucoma.
Fennel has been shown to protect the liver of experimental animals from chemical toxicity. In Chinese medicine, fennel has the properties of soothing liver Qi, warming the kidney, expelling cold and alleviating pain. It specifically regulates & harmonizes stomach Qi.
Like licorice and cardamom, it may be used to help harmonize other formulas. Western herbalists use fennel for its anti-cancer properties.
