Aids in Digestion
One of the oldest uses of Anise Seed Extract is as a mild laxative. Taking this extract when you are feeling a bit blocked up can quickly stimulate the movements in your colon and relieve symptoms of constipation.
Relieves Inflammation
Anise Seed Extract has a number of active ingredients and anti-inflammatory compounds that make it a soothing and relaxing beverage, both mentally and physically, such as for conditions like arthritis, gout, headaches, and chronic injuries.
Regulates Blood Sugar
For those with diabetes, maintaining normal blood sugar levels can be a massive challenge. Symptoms of high blood sugar can range from headaches to increased thirst to fatigue and unintentional weight loss. If left untreated long-term, high blood sugar can eventually lead to nerve damage, kidney failure, and even blindness.
Anise Seed Extract is a great way to regulate your blood sugar levels. It contains a compound called anethole, which is responsible for providing its unique flavour and aroma. as well as for modifying the activity of some key enzymes involved in carbohydrate metabolism.
Other ways to keep your blood sugar under control include upping your fiber intake, getting plenty of physical activity, and reducing your intake of carbohydrates and ultra-processed foods.
Boosts Immune System
With antiviral and antibacterial compounds in this powerful Anise Seed Extract, a few drops make for an excellent immune system booster, in addition to the various antioxidants it naturally contains.
Treats Respiratory Ailments
Functioning as an expectorant and an anti-inflammatory agent, this extract can soothe any irritation in the respiratory tract, ease your need to cough and soothe sore throat, while also neutralizing the underlying infection or pathogen causing the symptoms.
Aids in Lactation
Although using any herbal remedy during pregnancy or breastfeeding should be done carefully and as advised by your health practicioner, there is good evidence that Anise Seed Extract can increase milk production and lactation.
Stimulates Appetite
There is a lot of anecdotal evidence that Anise Seed Extract can help stimulate appetite, helping people who are recovering from surgery or illness, as well as those suffering from an eating disorder.
Maintains Hormonal Balance
Anise Seed Extract has certain hormone-mimicking properties and the ability to regulate hormone fluctuations in the body, helping everything from sleep issues to PMS. It can stimulate menstruation and help relieve menopause symptoms such as hot flashes, vaginal dryness, mood swings, and sleep disturbances.
Blocks the Growth of Fungus and Bacteria
Anise Seed Extract has been shown to have powerful antifungal properties that could aid in the treatment of fungal infections like athlete’s foot or ringworm.
In particular, Anise is especially effective against yeast and dermatophytes, a type of fungus responsible for many types of skin disease.
Stomach Ulcers
Stomach ulcers are painful sores that form on the lining of the stomach. These ulcers are associated with a slew of adverse side effects, such as heartburn, indigestion, gas, nausea, and stomach pain. Anise Seed Extract has been shown to help in remedying these issues.
