Benefits of Fennel Seeds

In traditional medicine, fennel seeds are considered warm, pungent, and non-toxic. They help dispel cold, stop nausea, improve digestion, relieve abdominal pain, reduce hiccups, ease spasms, regulate menstruation, and relieve pain from injuries or toothache. They are also believed to strengthen the kidneys, support bones, promote lactation, and aid in conditions such as nephritis, bladder issues, urinary stones, arteriosclerosis, and high blood pressure.
