Tips & Recipes for 

Fennel


Fennel essential oil is distilled from the seeds of the fennel plant, and has a distinctive liquorice aroma and taste. It is surprisingly sweet to taste, even though it has no sugar or any other sweetener in it. This oil has remarkable digestive benefits, and is usually found in digestive blends as well as used on its own for digestive comfort. It can also be used as a breath freshener just by dropping onto the tongue. Surprisingly, Fennel is also known for its skin-soothing properties. Combine it with your evening moisturizer to enjoy the beautifying benefits of this delicious oil.

Emotional Healing

Our sense of smell is a key that can unlock and release emotional pain that we have buried deep inside ourselves. What would it feel like to be free of those burdens? 


Fennel is the oil of responsibility, and helps individuals who feel inadequate to take on life's responsibilities, or defeated by their responsibilities. Fennel reignites a passion for life, and encourages us to take full ownership for our choices. 

Fennel is a good oil to use when you lack desire in life, when you feel unwilling to take responsibility, when you feel shame, and when you feel numb to your body's signals

Use Fennel when you want to be more in tune with your body, when you want to feel greater satiety when you eat, and when you want to move out of shame and into acceptance of yourself.  

Inhale from the bottle, diffuse it, or place a drop in your hands and inhale deeply. To use Fennel topically,  dilute 1 drop with a few drops of Fractionated Coconut Oil and apply all over the belly, before or after meals. Take 1-2 drops of this oil internally by adding to drinking water, dropping under the tongue, or taking in a capsule.
