Fennel was known by the ancient Chinese, Indian, Egyptian, and Greek civilizations. It has been used as an appetite suppressant and to treat stomach problems. The seeds known to be carminative have served in cases of flatulent colic and abdominal cramps. Fennel has been employed for the treatment of gastroenteritis and indigestion, to prevent gas, dissolve fat, and stimulate lactation (milk flow). It has also been used in the treatment of gout and tonsillitis, and as an eyewash for pink eye and ulcers on the eye. Fennel is said to possess estrogenic properties and may have a positive effect on menopause and PMS.
