Fennel essential oil is extracted from the seeds of the Foeniculum vulgare plant, a member of the carrot family, which has been cultivated for centuries for its aromatic and medicinal properties. It has a sweet, slightly spicy, and licorice-like fragrance that is both invigorating and soothing. This oil is widely valued for its ability to support digestion, balance hormones, and reduce inflammation. Fennel essential oil is also known for its grounding and uplifting effects, making it a popular choice in aromatherapy for both physical and emotional well-being.
