Health Benefits of Fennel
Fennel has a long history of being used to treat a variety of gut and digestive problems, including stomach aches, flatulence, diarrhea, and constipation.
There are few studies that support these benefits. This doesn't mean that the benefits are not there, just that few have studied them. Fennel seed oil reduces intestinal spasms and increases gut flow
Anethole, a major component of essential fennel oil, improved stomach function and emptying in rats (these are impaired in functional dyspepsia).
Fennel extract prevented stomach ulcers caused by alcohol in rats .
*Colic* is the term used to refer to when young children cry or are in a state of distress for several hours a day. The causes are unknown, but it is widely believed that stomach cramps and other digestive issues play a key role. Because fennel is known to have a soothing effect on the gastrointestinal system, it has a long history as a folk remedy for infantile colic. This use has also been backed up by science.
Fennel has estrogen-like activity (it is estrogenic).
Because of this, it can reduce menstrual pains, alleviates symptoms of menopause, and increases libido .
Fennel Relieves Menstrual Pain;
Fennel capsules shortened the length of the menstruation cycle, reduced period-related nausea, and improved subjective well-being in 40 young women compared to a group receiving placebo treatment. Combination of fennel extract/vitamin E was more effective than ibuprofen in decreasing the intensity of menstrual pain in 68 female students.
This herb reduced the severity of symptoms in 90 young women with moderate to severe PMS .
Menopause is often accompanied by symptoms such as hot flashes, sweating, heart discomfort, sleep problems, depression, irritability, fatigue, anxiety, sexual problems, and joint and muscle discomfort.
In a triple-blind, placebo-controlled trial of 90 women, fennel effectively reduced menopausal symptoms without serious side
effects
Fennel Has Antioxidant Effects
This herb is an abundant source of antioxidants such as caffeoylquinic acid, quercetin, and other phenolic and flavonoid compounds. Three weeks of fennel supplementation increased the activity of important antioxidant enzymes superoxide dismutase (SOD), and catalase in rats .
Fennel Is Good for the Skin
A cream containing fennel extract improved skin texture and increased skin water content in 11 volunteers. Fennel extract may prevent the visible effects of skin aging that come from sun exposure. For example, it increased the production of collagen, elastin, and TGF-beta1 levels in mice exposed to UVB radiation. Furthermore, it dose-dependently decreased the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) by increasing Nrf2 and antioxidants such as GSH
Fennel extract has significant anti-inflammatory effects in rats and mice. It also prevents slow allergic reactions (type IV allergic hypersensitivity). This herb suppressed inflammation in mice with lung injury, by decreasing the production of the inflammatory cytokines IL-6, TNF-alpha, and the inflammatory agents MMP9 and nitric oxide (NO) .
Fennel contains several major ingredients that are inhibitors of 5-LOX, an enzyme that causes inflammatory and allergic responses in the body by producing leukotrienes. Fennel*s ability to inhibit these enzymes may make it useful for preventing inflammatory and allergic reactions . Anethole, found in fennel, decreased inflammatory cytokines IL-1beta and TNF-alpha in a rat model of periodontitis (inflammation of the gums) .
