steam distilled stems and bark
Anise Seed essential oil carries a rich legacy that bridges the realms of body, mind, and spirit, offering healing, emotional grounding, and spiritual insight woven into the tapestry of human wellness and mysticism.
It supports digestive health, bringing relief from bloating, gas, indigestion, and colic. Its potent antispasmodic and expectorant properties work to ease muscle cramps and clear respiratory congestion.
It assists with hormone regulation, manages fatigue, and supports both circulatory and cardiac health. Due to its abundance of anethole, the oil also boasts strong antimicrobial and antifungal effects. Traditionally, it has been used specifically to support hormonal balance, particularly in easing menstrual discomfort and promoting lactation.
Bridging the realms of mind and spirit, Anise Seed shines as an emotional tonic that helps to dispel fear and timidity, uplift the spirit, and restore equilibrium. It is known to sharpen mental focus and help lift feelings of stagnation or mental fog.
Spiritually, this oil has long been revered in magical and metaphysical traditions for its ability to enhance psychic awareness, deepen meditation, and foster connection with a higher consciousness, often utilized in purification and protection rituals and associated with Jupiter, suggesting support for expansion, wisdom, and clarity.
Due to the oil's high percentage of anethole, use sparingly and with caution if you have hormone-sensitive conditions. Care should also be taken if you have known allergies to related botanical family members such as celery, fennel, caraway, or cumin.
