DESCRIPTION
Fennel is a perennial or biennial that grows to about five feet in height. The stem is round and straight with long, feathery leaves and umbels of small yellow flowers. Fennel is dark green and has a strong scent.

HABITAT
Indigenous to the Mediterranean, fennel now grows in temperate regions worldwide. It thrives in sunny areas with well-drained, loamy soil.

FOLKLORE AND TRADITIONAL USES
The name, Foeniculum, comes from the Latin for either "fragrant hay" or "product of the meadow." In Greek legend, knowledge came to humans from Mount Olympus in the form of a burning coal inside a fennel stalk. Europeans in the early Middle Ages positioned the plant over doors to ward off the possible ill effects of witchcraft. In England people put sprigs of fennel herb in horses' harnesses to keep flies away. It was also very popular as a seasoning, as an appetite suppressant, and as fennel tea.

MEDICINAL USES
Fennel oil contains anethole and fenchone, which reduce bloating and, in higher concentrations, act as antispasmodics. An infusion of the fennel seeds relieves sore throats and coughs and acts as a mild expectorant. People use crushed fennel seeds effectively as an eyewash for conjunctivitis. Fennel benefits include being employed to treat menstrual problems, promote lactation, and facilitate birth. Researchers have documented the validity of these traditional treatments by finding that an extract of the fennel seed has had an estrogenic effect on laboratory rats. Caution should be exercised because excess dosage of the oil can lead to seizures and greater sensitivity of the skin to sunlight.
