Yes.
Yes! Fennel seeds are part of a group of herbs called carminatives. They reduce gas, bloating, stomach/intestinal cramps and can bring general gut relief. Other herbs that can do this are things like peppermint, chamomile, and cinnamon. There are many more. Fennel is a good one for this function. Nice job mom!
Not if you have hormone dependent cells in your body, like breast cancer or endometriosis. Do not take with antibiotics (Cipro). Otherwise okay.
Yes :)
Fennel is practiced for numerous digestive problems such as heartburn, intestinal gas, bloating, loss of appetite...
Yes, fennel has been used to rid gas and bloating. Fennel is considered a carminative which means its reduces gas, bloating and helps assist with digestion.
Yes your mother is right. The oil produced when chewing the seeds is beneficial for heartburn, gas and bloating. But remember, spit the seeds out after chewing, never swallow them...
