Fennel seed has also been known to do wonders on the breasts. It can enlarge and make lactation start. Eat a little bit daily for about six months and eat well you will see for yourself.

I forgot to add a couple of more benefits of it: One is that it has a good effect on muscular inflammation , pain and stiffness, even if it´s related to the joint. I felt its positive effect on my neck and now recently on the hip joint which I´d feared would actually last a month I took a total of three Diclofenac tablets and then discontinued it due to the side-effects it was having on ...

I felt its positive effect on my neck and now recently on the hip joint which I´d feared would actually last a month I took a total of three Diclofenac tablets and then discontinued it due to the side-effects it was having on me, so the pain and the stiffness returned, but then fennel took over and it surprisingly cured by it within a week! It´s of course not as strong as an NSAID, but the advantage of it is that you can take it in large doses over a long period, unlike an NSAID pain-killer. I don´t think it´s even listed as a medical benefit of fennel anywhere from the sources that I read, but it´s a personal discovery of mine. The other benefit (or a side-effect, depending on your weight and aim) of it is that it´s an appetite-suppressant and can work great for dieting. I suppose girls will love it, coupled with the fact that boosting the libido of women is one of its listed uses, haha!

Poke root (Phytolaca americana) is different from bitter fennel (Foeniculum vulgare) and different from sweet fennel (Foeniculum vulgare var. dulce.) I don't know how this information got all mixed up on this page, but double check your sources.

Tea made with a 1/2 tsp of steeped fennel seed (crushed) has helped significantly with nighttime burping and gas I have had - or just chewing on the same amount of seeds. Effective like nothing else has been.

Never had digestive problems ever....but recently started suffering from flatulence. Could not put it down to diet so was in the dark as to the cause. I was desperate saw a write up about fennel, tried it and can hardly believe the change after only second day using.
