Anise seed essential oil is used for upset stomach, intestinal gas, "runny nose" and as an expectorant to increase productive cough, as a diuretic to increase urine flow and as an appetite stimulant.
This oil can relieve rheumatic and arthritic pain by stimulating blood circulation and reducing the sensation of pain in the affected areas.
This essential oil also has antiseptic properties that give wounds an effective protective layer against infection and sepsis. This helps wounds heal faster.
The warming effect of this oil on the respiratory and circulatory systems makes it soothing. This property helps to counteract colds, phlegm buildup, and problems such as rheumatism and arthritis.
Anise essential oil is toxic to insects and small animals; therefore, its scent repels them. For this reason, this oil can be used to repel insects in fumigants, vaporizers, and sprays.
