Organic Aniseed Oil 5ml

100% natural pure organic anise oil (Pimpinella anisum)Raw material from controlled organic cultivation in AustriaProduced by steam distillation of dried organic seeds at SensoleoScent: aromatic, warm, spicy, sweetEffect/Application: Anise is one of the most well-known spices of antiquity.Cultivation of the plant, native to the Orient, began in the first millennium BC.Anise seeds are used as a spice, as a remedy (phytotherapy), and as a fragrance in perfumery. The essential oil, a colorless to pale yellow liquid, has a warm, spicy-sweet scent. Anise gets everything flowing, whether it's bile, digestive juices, or breast milk.Its estrogen-like and simultaneously spasmolytic (cramp-relieving) properties characterize the special nature of anise oil. The essential oil is partially excreted through the lungs, thereby promoting the activity of the ciliated epithelium (secretomotor agent). It is likely that direct action on the bronchial mucous membrane leads to increased secretion and liquefaction of mucus. Anise acts as a mild spasmolytic, carminative, anxiolytic bronchial oil that is particularly effective in children's blends. We all know aniseed sweets for coughs and digestive problems.In empirical medicine, anise oil is used to promote milk flow, strengthen the heart and circulation, and relieve menopausal symptoms.Caution: Anise oil should not be ingested by babies, toddlers, or pregnant women.Other contraindications: - Hormone-dependent tumors such as breast carcinoma, prostate adenoma, are an absolute contraindication for the internal use of anise oil.- Pregnant women and infants should only be treated with minimal dosages.- Overdoses can have a narcotic effect and cause perceptual disturbances.Source: Wabner, D., Beier, C., Demleitner, M., Struck, D., 2012 Aromatherapie: Grundlagen Wirkprinzipien Praxis, 2nd edition, Elsevier GmbH, Munich
