Botanical Name: Pimpinella anisum Common Method of Extraction: Steam Distilled Country of Origin: Spain Color: Clear Consistency: Thin Perfumery Note: Top Strength of Initial Aroma: Medium About Anise - Anise Seed essential oil is warm and spicy, distilled from the common kitchen spice. The oil is often used interchangeably with that of Star Anise, as both oils derive their primary therapeutic effect from trans-anethole. This is the natural constituent with the familiar licorice-like aroma ~ similar to Fennel, though sweeter. The plant was one of the earliest aromatics mentioned in literature, and its seeds are used as flavoring in pastries, candy and curry dishes. Also like Fennel, Anise essential oil also has estrogen-like effects, though more pronounced, as it has a higher percentage of trans-anethole. The oestrogen activity of anethole is well-documented, though the 'trans' form may be less potent, and perhaps safer. An herbal infusion of the seeds is used to induce mother's milk. The essential oil has been recommended for use in a carrier, massaged into the abdomen for menstrual pain.
