Now, you will not find a big bunch of fennel nestled in the next spa gift set you receive but maybe it would be a good thing if you did. I’ve just recently read an article about many qualities associated with that crazy white and green bulbous thing we find in the produce isle.
I definitely love roasted fennel and often use fennel seeds as a spice but I’ve never known about it’s healthy properties like, how it promotes a healthy immune system with vitamins (particularly C), minerals and antioxidants. It has been known to alleviate symptoms of upper respiratory infections including whooping cough and bronchitis. Particularly important for women, Fennel has antispasmodic properties that can relieve menstrual cramps. It can increase breast milk secretion and helps to regulate hormonal change and is thought to boost estrogen production during menopause. Amazing, huh?
Maybe we should rethink spa gift baskets….give the gift of health.
