Fennel


Many cultures around the world both past and present ascribe to the healing powers of herbals. The Greeks have utilized the powerful attributes of herbs both in culinary and therapeutic applications since antiquity. Famous Greek physician and surgeon Galen (129 AD - 216 AD) promoted the practice of medicine and encouraged the use of observations and experiments utilizing herbs found in native Greece to bring the person back into wellbeing. Understanding the basic use of herbs in Greece offers a person an appreciation of a holistic approach to keeping the body and mind healthy.

Fennel


Fennel, or Foeniculum vulgare, is an aromatic plant used for cooking and herbal medicine.

The famous Greek physician and herbalist Pedanius Dioscorides prescribed fennel for stomach and bladder problems. Contemporary herbalists use fennel as a carminative, an herb that aids digestion and relieves gas and nausea.
