Star anise
Latin name: Illicium Verum
Part used: Fruit
Origin: China
Extraction method: Steam distillation
Use: for external use only (never ingest), suitable for fragrance burners/diffusers, dilute in a fragrance-neutral base oil for use in a (foot) bath and on the skin (undiluted essential oil can irritate sensitive skin).
Anise seed essential oil is used for stomach complaints, intestinal gas, a runny nose, as an "expectorant" to promote a productive cough, as a diuretic to increase urine flow, and as an appetite stimulant.
This oil can provide relief from rheumatic and arthritic pains by stimulating blood circulation and reducing the sensation of pain in the affected areas. This essential oil also has antiseptic properties that provide wounds with an effective protective layer against infections and sepsis. The warming effect of this oil on the respiratory organs and blood circulation makes it a heart tonic. This property helps with colds, the buildup of mucus, and problems such as rheumatism and arthritis.
The essential oil of anise is toxic to insects and smaller animals, therefore the scent keeps insects away. For this reason, this oil can be used to repel insects by using it in disinfectants, diffusers, and sprays.
