Fennel is a digestive tonic, so mild and gentle that it has been used (in highly diluted form) for infant colic remedies. It stimulates the liver and gall bladder to release bile. It improves digestion, relieves gas and vomiting, and calms the digestive system. It has an estrogen like quality that can help balance hormone production, and is even helpful during childbirth to facilitate delivery. Fennel aids detoxification from nicotine, alcohol, and drugs, and can reduce the effects of detoxification and cravings.
