Anise seed essential oil is used for upset stomach, intestinal gas, "runny nose," and as an expectorant to increase productive coughs, 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 provide wounds with 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 counteract colds, phlegm deposition, and conditions such as rheumatism and arthritis.

Anise essential oil is toxic to insects and smaller animals, so its scent keeps insects away. For this reason, this oil can be used to repel insects by adding it to fumigants, vaporizers, and sprays.
