Product Description
Aniseed is a medicinal spice known for its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and digestive properties. Rich in bioactive compounds such as anethole, flavonoids, and essential oils, aniseed has been traditionally used to relieve bloating, indigestion, and gas by relaxing the digestive muscles. It also has mild expectorant properties, making it beneficial for respiratory health by soothing coughs and clearing mucus. Studies suggest that aniseed may help regulate blood sugar levels and support heart health by lowering cholesterol and improving circulation. Additionally, its estrogen-like effects may aid in balancing hormones and alleviating menstrual discomfort. While generally safe, excessive consumption may cause mild allergic reactions or interact with certain medications.
