Uses Of Fennel Oil
As
one of the more popular herbal supplement extracts on the market today,
fennel oil offers health benefits to those looking to treat different
health disorders. Available at most supermarkets and local drugstores,
fennel oil is derived from fennel seeds and can be found in the form of
pills or liquid extract-based lotions. As with any new medication, users
should first check with a medical professional prior to beginning
treatment.
Treatment of ColicOne
of the major benefits of fennel oil is the herb's natural ability to
treat colic in infants. According to an article published in the St.
Petersburg Medical Academy of Postdoctoral Education, studies involving
fennel seed oil have shown the positive effect the supplement has on the
treatment of colicky babies. In this study, 125 infants ranging between
2 and 12 weeks of age presenting with symptoms of colic were treated
with a fennel seed oil treatment. Results of the study show that of the
subjects tested, 65 percent of infants no longer experienced symptoms
associated with colic, which was substantially better than the 23
percent of infants given a placebo in the control group. Additional
research continues to be conducted for the purpose of further
identifying the effects of fennel seed on this disease.
Cough and FeverAccording
to UMHS, supplement users looking for an alternative means to treat
symptoms associated with the common cold, including cough and fever, may
also benefit from taking fennel seed oil as an alternative medication.

feature numerous antimicrobial properties for the treatment of
