Description
Pimpinella anisum
Anise Essential Oil is steam distilled from the seeds of the anise plant. It possesses the distinctive aroma of black licorice. Although you may not be a fan of black licorice, a single drop or two of Anise Seed Essential Oil can dramatically enhance an otherwise dull blend.
Anise Essential Oil can be useful in diffuser and inhaler blends intended to help ease bronchitis, colds and the flu. It is said to help promote the production of breast milk and stimulate menstruation, but it should be used with caution and avoided in estrogen-dependent cancers (see safety notes below).
Emotionally, Anise Essential Oil can be calming when used in very small dilutions.
