Anise Seed Essential OilPimpinella anisum
Learning with LaRee
Anise Seed brings light, life, and perspective to the triple warmer meridian. The result is love and acceptance of our naturally imperfect physical bodies. This more balanced perspective has a dramatic impact on eating disorders, weight loss, and sexual dysfunction. Anise Seed is antispasmodic, making it effective for menstrual pain and stomach cramps. Because it is both a bronchial dilator and expectorant, anise is used for asthma and respiratory conditions that include phlegm and mucus.
