Star anise is a very helpful oil for digestive system regeneration. It picks up the apatite, settles digestion, and prevents gas formation in the digestive tract, making it a wonderful treatment for gas pain, indigestion, and intestinal cramping or bloating.
Star anise has many other healing properties, including neuromuscular regulation and pain relief; spastic cough relief; heart and circulation stimulant; and immune system booster. It carries estrogen-like properties, making it very useful for cooling hot flashes, balancing hormones during menopause, and balancing estrogen levels in women who produce too little or too much estrogen.
