Anise Medicinal Uses: Anise is antispasmodic, helping to relieve intestinal wind and spasmodic coughs. Anise has been combined with cathartic laxatives to help reduce the spasmodic cramping they can cause. It is an excellent remedy for chest infections of all kinds. It can be used to treat bronchitis and even the more serious lung infections such as pneumonia and pleurisy.
It is also used as a relaxing expectorant (helps you to cough up phlegm from the chest without making you exert too much energy in coughing).
Aniseed is great in the treatment of asthma thanks to its relaxing effect, and is particularly useful for children, as it tastes so good. Children with respiratory infections can often cough uncontrollably, Aniseed will help to reduce this distressing symptom. Anise is used in the manufacture of many commercial cough syrups and sore throat medications such as lozenges, used to flavour other medicines and to scent soaps and perfumes.
It is an excellent Calminative, as it is good at reducing wind/gas, bloating, colic and abdominal pain and is used as a digestive aid.
