Fennel represents bravery, strength, and longevity.
Ancient herbalists were known to prescribe fennel juice for "dimness of vision," and the Romans thought it improved their eyesight. Another early slimming herb was fennel, whose Greek name, "marathon," is said to have sprung from a verb that means "to grow thin."
Fennel is mostly used in modern medicine to reduce bloating, but it also has anti-inflammatory and diuretic properties and relieves stomach pain.
It has been shown to help with gas and digestive problems, enhance nutrient absorption, treat gum disease and sore throats, prevent urinary tract infections, reduce chest congestion, and eliminate pollutants.
Fennel provides numerous health benefits, including vital components, dietary fibre, minerals, and vitamins, in addition to its usage in herbal therapy.
