Chew Fennel Seeds after a Meal
Since ancient times, fennel has been extensively used for its natural medicinal and culinary characteristics. It is a fragrant herb with edible seeds, leaves, and stems known for storing essential nutrients. Additionally, vitamins and minerals like vitamin A, vitamin C, fiber, potassium, manganese, iron, zinc, and calcium are also present in fennel. It also contains polyphenols such as chlorogenic acid, quercetin, and apigenin. In addition, these seeds are characterized by potent anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and antioxidant properties that enable them to treat several health conditions.
Chewing fennel seeds after a meal produces an oil that is considered a flatus-relieving agent, which reduces bloating and excessive gas, expels gas from the intestinal tract, and assists digestion.
According to studies, fennel seed is an effective aid to digestion. It smoothens the muscles of the gastrointestinal system and reduces gas, bloating, and stomach cramps. Fennel seed tea and extracts can also be an idyllic medication for intestinal spasms brought on by irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), Chron’s Disease, and other severe conditions affecting the gastrointestinal system.
Fennel seeds may also be used with other herbal remedies such as laxatives or other treatments for digestive problems.
