Fennel Tea Benefits

1. Treats Gastrointestinal Issues And Improves Digestion

Fennel seeds are known to relax the muscles and stimulate the flow of bile, which eventually reduces pain – this can eventually improve digestion. Fennel is one of those herbs that has digestion-enhancing properties (1).

Fennel also expels gas from the body and relieves bloating. It encourages blood circulation to the digestive tract, thereby improving the overall digestive process (2).

According to traditional Persian scholars, fennel is one of the few herbal compounds that can help relieve flatulencei  XThe condition where gas gets accumulated in the alimentary canal and is then expelled through the anal passage. (3). And numerous medical studies have proven fennel’s ability to improve the health of the gastrointestinal tract. As it is a good source of fiber, it keeps the large intestine and colon healthy (4). Fennel also is one of those spices that helps relieve gut-based functions like gas production, eases digestion, and promotes detoxification (5).

Though there is substantial evidence, there is anecdotal proof to support that fennel tea can alleviate IBS (irritable bowel syndrome) symptoms (6).

2. Aids Weight Loss

Wondering, how fennel tea benefits weight loss? Well, yes it does! It all boils down to fennel’s ability to aid digestion. Improved digestion enables your body to assimilate nutrients better. This keeps you satiated and reduces cravings. Ultimately, this helps in weight loss.

Barbara Kovalenko, a nutrition consultant, says, “There is limited scientific evidence to support the claim that fennel tea reduces belly fat, but it may aid in digestion and improve overall health, which can lead to weight loss.”

Fennel is also considered a hot temperament herb, and it helps decrease serum glucose levels and promotes weight control in humans (7). It also suppresses appetite and helps get rid of excess fluids and waste from the body (8).

3. Helps Treat Respiratory Ailments

An Egyptian study states that fennel has been used for centuries for curing respiratory disorders. The herb is also used for treating catarrh (excessive build-up of mucous) in the upper respiratory tract (9).

Fennel also helps in calming spasms in the respiratory system. It cleanses the bronchial passages and keeps respiratory ailments at bay. Also, fennel is extremely good for the lungs (10).

In a study conducted by the Ontario Veterinary College, a herbal composite containing fennel was found to alleviate the symptoms of respiratory dysfunction in horses (11). Similar results were found to be possible in humans.

Another Portuguese study recommends fennel for the treatment of respiratory conditions like bronchitis and chronic coughs (12).

4. Promotes Heart Health

There is a link between liver and heart health, which most of us are unaware of. The liver is where cholesterol is produced and broken down. A healthy liver breaks the cholesterol down more efficiently and regulates it as well. Fennel is one food that supports liver functioning and indirectly promotes heart health (13).

Fennel is also an excellent source of fiber. Fiber prevents cholesterol re-absorption and offers protection against heart diseases.

Fennel, being an excellent source of potassium, helps control blood pressure and counteracts the undesirable effects of sodium. This prevents hypertension and, eventually, heart disease.

5. Boosts The Immune System

Fennel is an excellent source of vitamin C, a powerful antioxidant that strengthens the immune system. Fennel also contains selenium that can stimulate the production of T-cells (T-cells are active participants in the immune response).

Fennel also possesses antimicrobial properties, which further help enhance immunity.

6. Promotes Eye Health

Extracts of fennel seed have been found to be potentially useful in treating glaucomai  XA condition in which the pressure in the eyeballs increases, damaging optic nerves and leading to gradual loss of sight. (14). You can use fennel tea either as an eye tonic – apply directly as eye drops or as a compress.

As per an Iranian study, fennel extracts are beneficial in improving vision (15). Vitamin C, one of the nutrients fennel is very rich in, plays a major role in protecting the eyes (16). As the eyes have a higher metabolic rate, they have an additional need for antioxidant protection – which is readily offered by fennel due to its high vitamin C content.

Lower levels of vitamin C in the eye lens can increase the risk of cataract formation (17). The antioxidants in fennel shield the eyes from effects of macular degenerationi  XAn eye disease common in older people that causes loss of sight at the center of the field of vision.   (18). There are certain individuals who wash their eyes with fennel tea to treat conjunctivitis.

Fennel can also be used to treat eye inflammation (19).

7. Improves Hormonal Balance

Fennel is one of the foods containing phytoestrogens, which, according to an Italian study, promote hormonal balance (20). As per another American study, fennel seeds demonstrated significant ability to treat PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome), which is a hormonal disorder most prevalent in women of reproductive age (21).

The phytoestrogen content in fennel is what makes the herb ideal for reducing the symptoms related to hormonal imbalance (22). Fennel also contains phytohormones that help regulate the body’s own hormones and prevent any potential imbalances.

Progesterone is the most important hormone when it comes to balancing the thyroid and the glandular system. And fennel possesses progestogenic substances that aid in this regard (23).

8. Helps Relieve Arthritis

In one study, certain inflammatory ailments were found to respond well to fennel. The herb also increases the activity of an antioxidant named superoxide dismutase, which contributes to reduced levels of inflammation.

As per a Mumbai study, fennel is one of the herbs that is extensively used to treat arthritis symptoms (24). In another Iranian study, fennel had shown excellent osteoprotective propertiesi  XThe property of a substance to protect bones from physical damage and aid in their restoration or remodeling. (25).

9. Helps Cope With Menstrual Problems

According to Barbara, “Fennel tea has been traditionally used to relieve menstrual cramps and other symptoms associated with painful periods, and some evidence suggests that it may have pain-relieving properties. Some people may find fennel helpful for managing anxiety and stress, but more research is needed to confirm its effectiveness in this regard.”

Certain studies suggest the efficacy of fennel in treating painful menstrual cramps (26). Fennel tea can also help regulate your thyroid so that you can have a healthy flow.

In a 2002 Iranian study, high school girls suffering from menstrual pain had reported major improvement in the condition after having taken fennel extract (27). In another placebo-controlled triali  XA trial conducted on two or more groups where one group gets active treatment while the others get the placebo or inactive treatment. , fennel was found to significantly reduce menstrual pain (28). Another Iranian study had stated that the intake of fennel can alleviate menstrual symptoms like nausea and weakness (29).

Menstrual pain, according to certain studies, is probably caused by excessive contraction of the uterine muscles that leads to blood reduction. Fennel has been found to relax these muscles, thereby healing the symptoms.

10. Promotes Gum Health

Fennel, being an excellent antimicrobial agent, aids the treatment of gum inflammation (30).

11. Fennel Tea For Babies

As per the University of Maryland Medical Center, fennel tea can help reduce colic symptoms. This is because the herb has soothing effects on the gastrointestinal tract and expels gas (31). Fennel can lead to the relaxation of a baby’s intestines. However, as per studies, the herb is not recommended for infants below 4 months of age.

According to an Italian study, fennel infusions help prevent flatulence and colic spasms in babies (32).

However, fennel has been found to be unsafe for babies in a couple of instances. Please consult your doctor before using fennel tea for newborn.

Stephanie Portell, an ER nurse and life coach, shared how drinking a nourishing herbal infusion, water, and fennel-fenugreek tea ensured rich and abundant lactation post-delivery. She said, “This was essential to establishing my milk supply and keeping both baby and I well hydrated, nourished, and rested (i).”

12. Helps Kill Internal Parasites

Fennel is considered a botanical dewormer, and it can be used to eliminate internal parasites (33). Fennel tea has laxative properties that promote intestinal movement, and this helps flush the worms out of your system. Fennel seeds are also believed to act as a sedative for worms. Certain studies assume that worms cannot lay eggs when in a state of rest, and hence, fennel keeps them from multiplying.

13. Helps Treat Diabetes

In an Indian study, fennel was one of the 10 foods found to have properties that alleviated diabetic complication (34).

In another published study, 250 milligrams of fennel had considerably lowered blood glucose levels in the rats that were tested upon, indicating similar possibilities in humans.

Fennel, being a good source of vitamin C, can also help diabetics. A high intake of the vitamin might lower the blood sugar levels in people suffering from Type 2 diabetes.

One of the medications given to people having high blood sugar levels is Gluconorm-5, and one its constituents is fennel. The glucose-lowering effect of Gluconorm-5 is believed to be the result of certain ingredients, with fennel being one of them (35).

Fennel, like other non-starchy vegetables, has a low glycemic index. This makes the herb more conducive to blood glucose control and a beneficial food in the diabetic diet (36). Both the vegetable and its seeds contain certain chemicals that can act against diabetes.

Another reason fennel is a diabetes superfood is its potassium content. Potasisum has been found to increase insulin sensitivity, and is hence recommended for diabetics (37).

According to the University of Maryland Medical Center, a large clinical study done on more than 2,000 people had found that adequate levels of magnesium in the diet can offer protection against Type 2 diabetes. Fennel is a magnesium-rich food, and hence can be quite helpful in this regard (38).

14. Helps Prevent Cancer

As per an American study, herbal supplements with fennel as one of the ingredients have the potential to protect against prostate cancer (39). Fennel tea is a multicomponent mixture containing various antioxidants that protect against cancer (40).

Fennel contains numerous bioactive compounds, including quercetini  XA plant pigment with antioxidant properties that may help protect against cancer and heart conditions. , which had shown anticancer activity (41). Fennel also possesses excellent anti-inflammatory properties that can be attributed to a phytonutrient called anethole. This compound, apart from hindering inflammation, also prevents the transformation of regular cells into cancerous ones.

Its richness in fiber and vitamin C make fennel an important food in cancer treatment (42). As per a report published by the Tennessee State University, fennel has been found to inhibit the growth of lung cancer cells and colon cancer cell lines (43). Fennel also limits the activity of a protein called NF kappa B, which is responsible for numerous inflammatory diseases, including cancer (44).

Fennel is also found to have remarkable anticancer potential against breast and liver cancer cells (45). The antioxidants in fennel, along with the fiber, help cleanse the colon and prevent colorectal canceri  XA term for colon cancer that combines colon and rectal cancer. It begins in the rectum, situated at the lower end of the digestive tract. (46).

15. Fennel Tea Benefits For Men

Fennel is known as a libido-booster and can improve sexual desires, specifically in men. It can also relieve issues related to the bladder and prostate like prostate cancer as well as prolong orgasms (47).

16. Helps Treat Acne

Fennel contains certain essential oils like anethole, myrcene, and limonene – all of which have exhibited anti-inflammatory properties with a potential to treat skin conditions like acne. Fennel also helps flush out the excess liquids from the skin, which might otherwise contribute to acne. The antibacterial and antioxidant properties of fennel also may help prevent acne formation (48).

That is with the fennel seed tea benefits. But what about the dosage? How much of fennel can you take in a day?

Dosage

Ideally, you can use 5 to 7 grams of fennel seeds in tea per day. A dosage of 500 mg/kg can lead to adverse effects like piloerectioni  XThe bristling of hair caused by involuntary muscle contraction at the base of hair follicles. It is the medical term for goosebumps. and loss of appetite (49).
