In Herbology today we are starting with Anise!
While google states that:
"Anise (/ˈænɪs/; Pimpinella anisum), also called aniseed, is a flowering plant in the family Apiaceae native to the eastern Mediterranean region and Southwest Asia. Its flavor has similarities with some other spices, such as star anise, fennel, and licorice."
Its a very good spice that you can use while in its whole form or even in the ground form too.
Wikipedia says: "Anise
- Family: Apiaceae
- Scientific name: Pimpinella anisum
- Kingdom: Plantae
- Higher classification: Pimpinella
- Order: Apiales
- Rank: Species
I find that its very relaxing licorice aroma can help you relax any tense nerves. Unless you don't like the smell of licorice that is LOL. The reason I say this is because Anise is sweet and very aromatic.
Anise also has some good use for medicinal ways as well. You can use it for relieving gas bubbles in you stomach that cause burps and farts. Its able to help with diarrhea and sleepless nights too.. (Please see Wikipedia for more information on this.)
In all words put together Anise is one of the many herbs that is helpful to us.
