In medieval times, Fennel (Foeniculum Vulgare) was employed to protect against witchcraft and other evil influences. Foeniculum Vulgare was cultivated by Romans for its aromatic fruits and succulent, edible shoots.
In Chinese medicine, Fennel was used for centuries as a poultice for treating snake bites and as a decoction for treating cholera, backaches, and bedwetting. Foeniculum Vulgare tea was used as an expectorant to relieve chronic coughs and other respiratory problems.
Foeniculum Vulgare Fruit Extract was also rubbed on rheumatic joints to help relieve pain, and the seed extract was used as an eyewash for irritation and eye strain.
Foeniculum Vulgare Fruit Extract is a light to medium amber liquid with a characteristic odor. It is used in skin creams, lotions, toners, and gels, as well as bath and eye care products.See also
