Fennel Essential Oil is derived from the crushed seeds of Foeniculum vulgare var. dulce, commonly known as sweet or Roman fennel, through steam distillation. Like the seeds themselves, the oil is widely valued for its digestive benefits and a range of other traditional uses. In aromatherapy, it is often used to support oily or mature skin and is associated with promoting confidence, determination, and inner strength.

Traditionally, fennel oil has been used to help relieve digestive discomforts such as gas, constipation, colic, nausea, vomiting, poor appetite, and indigestion. It is also believed to support weight management by encouraging a feeling of fullness, while its mild diuretic properties are said to help reduce the appearance of cellulite. Additionally, the oil has been associated with toning the liver and spleen, cleansing and firming the skin, and helping ease bruising. However, fennel essential oil should be used sparingly and is not recommended during pregnancy or lactation, or for individuals with breast cancer or epilepsy.
