Anise Star Essential Oil
Anise is one of the most potent spices in the world, giving off a pleasant licorice-like scent. It is harvested from two distinct sources, aniseed (a member of the parsley family) and star anise (a member of the magnolia family). Anise is widely known to support respiratory health and contain a multitude of antimicrobial properties. At the same time, it has also shown efficacy in treating everything from depression symptoms to IBS.
Anise also has a reputation for being able to relieve pain, which is why people with chorionic joint issues often use the extract topically. It also offers a mild sedative effect when inhaled, which makes it perfect for bedtime. Among its most impressive qualities, however, is its ability to restore hormonal balance in women.
