Long before fennel seed became one of
the enhancing ingredients found in Thermadrol it is remembered
at the famous battle of Marathon (490 BC) in Greece against
the Persians. The war was fought on a field of fennel. Today,
it can be found in both Egypt and India. The flaxen brown dried
fruit, fennel seed or Foeniculum vulgare is related to the parsley
family. A tad bit sweeter than anise, fennel has a licorice-like
taste with an aromatic scent. Fennel seed is synonymous with
healing. Fennel is a native of the Mediterranean area and southern
Europe.
Used to flavor the taste of Italian cuisine,
meatballs, spaghetti and meatloaf, fennel is an authentic way
to accentuate. As a succulent seasoning of fish, fennel is also
used in certain
curry powder mixes. In the powerful weight loss supplement,
Thermadrol, fennel seed ensures digestive dieting comfort as
it wards off bacteria.
As far as the herb’s healing powers are
concerned, chewing a handful of seeds is good for the digestive
system. The licorice flavor soothes indigestion. Fennel works
verisimilar to other herbs. It relaxes the lining of the digestive
track to assure the expulsion of gas. According to reports released
by Europeans, fennel has demonstrated the ability to annihilate
certain bacteria. Consequently, it can be used via infusion
or tincture to remedy diarrhea.
In certain medical trials, fennel seed
has been touted as the female sex hormone, estrogen. Since it
has the power to stimulate menstruation, studies have found
the herb possesses a mild estrogenic effect. According to studies
released by Israeli researchers, fennel seed has been bound
to help colicky infants.
A trial evaluated 68 babies stricken
with colic. Thirty-five of the infants were given a non-medicinal
beverage; while the other 33 infants were administered fennel
tea. The colicky babies who received the fennel tea demonstrated
an improvement in their condition compared to the infants given
a placebo drink.
All infant and female medical conditions
aside, the fennel seed contained in Thermadrol is 100 percent
safe.
