The Benefits of Fennel Essential Oil include

The benefits of fennel date back to the ancient Egyptians and Romans. They used fennel for spiritual and emotional support.

Today it is supportive to healthy circulatory, glandular, respiratory, and digestive systems* when taken internally as a dietary supplement (see fennel vitality).

Spiritually warriors believed that it gave them courage and strength in battle and longevity. During the Medieval Age, fennel was used to block spells and ward off witches and evil spirits.

Today, we can reap the benefits of fennel using fennel essential oil every day. It can assist us with supporting a healthy digestive system when taken internally* (see fennel vitality).

The benefits of fennel are that it energizes and balances. It also may support feelings of well-being during the menstrual cycle

We also know that fennel is used for culinary purposes, especially in Mediterranean cuisine! It is amazing that something we have used for culinary use for thousands of years.

What is Nan's Mental (Mindset), Emotional and Spiritual Interpretation of this Oil?

We also know that Fennel benefits the spirit! Fennel will give us courage to look at the part of the self that lacks self love. It gently forces us to look at our own rejection of self due to self image and victim mentality.

It is good for those of us who are challenged by unhealthy fluctuations which may have a root of feeling unloved, not worthy to accept love or not being able to love ourselves for who we are.
