Most of us are familiar with this herb as a kitchen spice.

This oil is used by the pharmaceutical industry to flavor cough syrups and dental products, and to cover the unpleasant taste of drugs. It serves as a good masking agent.

History and Background

Aniseed (Anise) has a history of use as a spice and fragrance. It has been cultivated in Egypt for at least 4,000 years. Recordings of its diuretic use and treatment of digestive problems and toothache are seen in medical texts from this era.

In ancient Greek history, writings explain how Anise helps breathing, relieves pain, encourages urine, and eases thirst. The oil has been used commercially since the 1800's.

Aniseed oil encourages and stimulates the conscious mind, opening it to the Universe. It is said that it induces clairvoyance and energizes the brain

One of the few retailers of anise seed

Finally found anise seed oil (Pipenella anisum). One can find star anise everywhere but I needed this for my aromatherapy certification studies. I was formulating a blend for digestion and needed this. I just wish Source Vital would publish their GC/MS reports.
