The Digesting Soothing Powers of
Fennel Seed
Long
before fennel seed became one of the enhancing ingredients found
in Thermadrol it is remembered at the famous battle of Marathon
(490 BC) in Greece against the Persians. The war was fought
on a field of fennel. Today, it can be found in both Egypt and
India. The flaxen brown dried fruit, fennel seed or Foeniculum
vulgare is related to the parsley family. A tad bit sweeter
than anise, fennel has a licorice-like taste with an aromatic
scent. Fennel seed is synonymous with healing. Fennel is a native
of the Mediterranean area and southern Europe.
Used
to flavor the taste of Italian cuisine, meatballs, spaghetti
and meatloaf, fennel is an authentic way to accentuate. As a
succulent seasoning of fish, fennel is also used in certain
curry powder mixes. In the powerful weight loss supplement,
Thermadrol, fennel seed ensures digestive dieting comfort as
it wards off bacteria.
As
far as the herb’s healing powers are concerned, chewing a handful
of seeds is good for the digestive system. The licorice flavor
soothes indigestion. Fennel works verisimilar to other herbs.
It relaxes the lining of the digestive track to assure the expulsion
of gas. According to reports released by Europeans, fennel has
demonstrated the ability to annihilate certain bacteria. Consequently,
it can be used via infusion or tincture to remedy diarrhea.
In
certain medical trials, fennel seed has been touted as the female
sex hormone, estrogen. Since it has the power to stimulate menstruation,
studies have found the herb possesses a mild estrogenic effect.
According to studies released by Israeli researchers, fennel
seed has been bound to help colicky infants.
A
trial evaluated 68 babies stricken with colic. Thirty-five of
the infants were given a non-medicinal beverage; while the other
33 infants were administered fennel tea. The colicky babies
who received the fennel tea demonstrated an improvement in their
condition compared to the infants given a placebo drink.
All
infant and female medical conditions aside, the fennel seed
contained in Thermadrol is 100 percent safe. |
