Fennel Seeds for Stomach Issues

AngelPuppy1 — Tue, 20 Jun 2023 11:01:21 GMT

I read that fennel seeds are good for stomach issues, especially gas, etc. I was wondering if anyone had ever eaten fennel seeds for medical purposes and what your experiences have been. I know you can have tea and other things as well. Thanks!

Grandma used to make us fennel tea when we had a gas pains..I made bay leaf or fennel tea( strain it don't eat the seeds or leaves) for my babies(as per Grandma's instructions) when they were gassy..Worked like a charm..If It worked for Grandma's mom and all the way down the line..You do have to add some sugar before drinking it warm.

I still use it one in awhile.

Fennel supplements definitely help me in that area. I get capsules at Whole Foods.

As a ginger tea lover, I'm going to try the fennel tea. I use Alka Seltzer for stomach issues and this would be more natural and tastier. I'll brew it up and store in frig.

Does this help with stomach gas or with colon gas?

It helps with both yet mild enough to give it to a baby in a bottle just a little weaker.

I don't know about fennel seeds but I do know about ginger. We always have sliced ginger pieces rolled in sugar in the cupboard. It's great for degestion, stomach woes, upset tummy. I'll have a piece after dinner every night. It's good, it tastes good and it's a good end to dinner.

@Jo1313

So you buy fennel teas and put boiling water over them to make tea?

Thank you for your reply!

@AngelPuppy1 I can find it in a few places here - we have a market here called "Lucky's" that migrated from Colorado to Columbus OH. As well, I've found it in Kroger's and Giant Eagles here. We also have a Trader Joe's which I'm sure I'd find it there too, also another gourmet store called Fresh Thyme that would carry it.

They're usually packed in smallish clear plastic boxes.

Yes, that will do the trick! If you don't have a little tea strainer for brewing from the seeds, most grocery stores sell fennel tea bags with ground fennel seed.

But a jar of fennel seeds in the spice aisle.

Steep(about 10 minutes) a tablespoon or so in boiling water..Strain the seeds out or put the seeds cheesecloth..easier than straining.

let it cool some usually have to add a little sugar.

I do the same with bay leaves..I prefer that flavor better.

Granted you may not like it the first time..but they work wonders in a short amount of time.

Works better warm.

@Patriot3 Gee I don't know. The ginger we eat is like slices of ginger made as a dried fruit rolled in a bit of sugar. We don't do caps. A friend of our's shared ginger with us and we've been buying it for 7-8 yrs now.

I have IBS, and have discovered Heather VanVourous' web site where she sells Heather's Tummy Tea, which is a fennel tea. It worked like magic for me for gas and bloating. Now I purchase my own organic fennel seeds (buy on the big A) and make up my own tea bags. Much more cost effective. I am usually good with one cup. Good luck to you.
