Μάραθος σπόρος

A well known carminative and digestive aid, fennel was used by early Greek physicians to increase and enrich milk flow in nursing mothers. It is also an antacid, which both neutralizes excess acids in the stomach and intestines and lears uric acid from the joints. More generally, it stimulates digestion, regulates appetite, and relieves flatulence.

Fennel tea is not only tasty but can help relieve colic, improve digestion, and expel gas from the system. Because of its delightful licorice - like taste, fennel is a useful flavouring agent for less tasty herbs.

Fennel tea:

Pour hot (not boiling) water over 1-2 teaspoons of fennel seeds . Allow the tea to steep for 10 minutes and then strain.
