The idea of Fennel as a beverage has a long history – Early Greek and Roman cultures consumed fennel seeds and created tonics and teas from this healing herb.
India and Pakistan also use fennel tea as a curative and diuretic.
Fennel is an excellent source of Vitamin C and Vitamin B and is an immune system booster. Fennel may reduce cholesterol levels and is an excellent source of fiber, as well as claiming digestive aid qualities and lactation properties (Pregnant women should not drink fennel tea!).
Especially with Flu Season upon us, starting a regimen of Fennel Tea or including fennel in your drinks can be a step in improving your wellness and immune system.
According to TeaBenefits.com, fennel tea has been shown to possess diuretic, bile-producing, fever-reducing, pain-relieving and antimicrobial qualities, all of which are critical in the body’s natural defense against infection and sickness. Common natural fever-reducing agents like potassium, calcium and other vitamins are also found in fennel regardless of supplement form or serving.
