Botanical Name: Pimpinella anisum | Country of Origin: Eastern Mediterranean | Plant Part: Seed | Distillation Method: Steam distilled | Cultivation: Wild
Anise Essential Oil has a distinctive aroma of black licorice. A single drop or two of Anise Seed Essential Oil can dramatically enhance an otherwise dull blend. It can be useful in diffuser and inhaler blends intended to help ease bronchitis, colds and the flu. It is said to help promote the production of breast milk and stimulate menstruation, but it should be used with caution and avoided in estrogen-dependent cancers (see safety notes below).
Anise Essential oil is a clear or pale mobile liquid
Emotionally, Anise Oil can be calming when used in very small dilutions.
Anise and Star Anise Essential Oils are often grouped together and sometimes are confused with each other as both possess a similar aroma and have similar, but not completely identical properties.
Aromatic Description: Distinctive rich and sweet scent of licorice.
Safety Information: Do not use if you have hypersensitive skin or with skin problems. They indicate that it may inhibit blood clotting and not for use during pregnancy/breastfeeding, endometriosis and estrogen-dependent cancers. Avoid use with children under 5. Avoid use of the oil if it has oxidized.
