Fennel ground, organic 50g

Fennel (Foeniculum vulgare) has been considered an important medicinal plant in Asia-China and Ayurveda for thousands of years.

Fennel, the medicinal plant of the year 2009 (University of Würzburg). Ground fennel.

Fennel is very effective for children and adults alike. Fennel can be used well for children because it is particularly suitable due to its mild effect. In the genus Foeniculum, fennel is the only plant species within the family of Umbelliferae. Fennel is also known colloquially as: Köppernickel, Enis, Fenikl, Fenkel, Finchel, Frauenfenchel, Brotsamen.

The doshas Vata and Pitta are reduced by fennel, as fennel also has cooling, oily properties. The digestive fire (Agni) is strengthened at the same time.

Fennel in Ayurvedic Cuisine

As an Ayurvedic cook, I use fennel several times a week in chutneys, flatbreads, pickles, curries, pulse dishes, potato dishes or the classic vegetable stew because it has a sweet taste. The dishes are easier to digest with fennel and, as already described, are also very suitable for children.

Fennel in every medicine cabinet

Natural fennel is a proven home remedy for coughs, respiratory problems and flatulence and, in my opinion, belongs in every medicine cabinet or spice shelf, together with other spices.
