Fennel is an aromatic plant originating from the Mediterranean region, known of its distinctive anise flavour. It has been cherished for centuries thanks to both its culinary and medicinal properties.
The seeds of this plant contain a series of bioactive compounds which contribute to its beneficial effects, including essential oils (such as anethole, estragole and fenchone), flavonoids, phenolic compounds and dietary fibres.
In this article, we will tell you about the properties of fennel that help to improve digestive health and improve symptoms of indigestion.
REDUCTION IN BLOATING
The essential oils present in fennel seeds have carminative properties, so they help to reduce the formation of gases in the digestive tract, helping to alleviate that heavy and bloated feeling.
They also have the ability to aid the expulsion gases built up in the gut, thereby reducing the discomfort and pain associated with the build-up of gases.
ALLEVIATION FROM SPASMS AND INFLAMMATION
They also have antispasmodic properties, which can help to alleviate abdominal spasms and cramps, making them useful for people who suffer from irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) or other conditions that cause abdominal discomfort.
Additionally, their phenolic compounds and flavonoids have anti-inflammatory properties which helps to reduce inflammation in the digestive system.
CONSTIPATION PREVENTION
Fennel’s dietary fibre helps to maintain regular bowel movements and promote healthy gut flora. In addition, it can act as a prebiotic, feeding the beneficial bacteria in the gut.
