This oil is known for its aromatic properties that are similar to Aniseed but with a more herbal, mellow, smooth, and sweeter licorice scent. The oil is widely used in aromatherapy, as it offers numerous benefits to the body and mind.
Fennel oil is primarily used in massage, as it can help address various problems such as cellulitis, bruising, and menopausal issues. It is also believed to be useful in a detoxification bath for substance abuse due to its diuretic properties.
