Great quality oil with a sweet, licorice-like aroma. Fantastic in weight loss blends in very small amounts - a little goes a long way.

I am a hair stylist and have just received my essential oils from New Directions.
Last night, I had been suffering from a recurring pain in my wrist . I was viewing the New Directions website and just happened to have a bottle of Fennel Sweet on my desk.
I decided, for some unforeseen reason, to apply fennel sweet to my wrist.
In an instant, the pain disappeared! Being a sceptic I could not believe it. I had a warm and cold sensation for just a couple of minutes.
I am passing this valuable information on to my clients and other stylists.
Thank you!

Great for 'dieting blends', sweet fennel was used in ancient times to ward off evil spirits. The essential oil is for EXTERNAL USE ONLY and it should always be diluted with a suitable carrier oil before applying to the skin. It is non-toxic and non-irritant but with possible sensitization in some individuals. Do not use if pregnant. Do not use if epileptic. Use for abdominal cramps, anorexia, asthma, bronchitis, cellulitis, children's ailments, menopausal problems, milk stimulation, nausea, mature skin, rheumatism, women's ailments. (Also known as Anethum foeniculum, Fenkel, Foeniculum officinale, Foeniculum capillaceum.)
