What Is Fennel Seed? And Why Has It Been Used For Digestion For Centuries?

If you've ever been served fennel tea after a meal in a Mediterranean restaurant, there's a reason for it.

For centuries, fennel has been traditionally used to support digestion and digestive comfort.

Today, fennel remains one of the most widely used botanical ingredients in digestive wellness supplements.

But what exactly is fennel, and why is it included in Floraelle?

What Is Fennel?

Fennel (Foeniculum vulgare) is a flowering plant native to the Mediterranean region.

Its seeds contain naturally occurring compounds that give fennel its distinctive sweet, slightly licorice-like aroma.

Historically, fennel has been used in traditional herbal practices across Europe, the Middle East, and Asia to support digestive wellness.

Why Is Fennel Associated With Digestion?

Many traditional cultures have used fennel after meals.

In some regions, fennel seeds are still served at the end of a meal as part of a long-standing digestive tradition.

Today, fennel is commonly included in digestive wellness supplements because of its history of use in supporting digestive comfort.

Why Is Fennel Often Included In Bloating Supplements?

Digestive comfort is influenced by many factors, including how food moves through the digestive system and how the body responds after eating.

Because of its traditional use in digestive wellness, fennel has become a popular ingredient in supplements designed to support digestive comfort after meals.

This is one reason you'll often find fennel alongside ingredients such as ginger, peppermint, digestive enzymes, and artichoke extract.
