Disclaimers

Instantly recognizable by its warm, sweet licorice scent, Star Anise essential oil is believed to be helpful during a woman’s normal transition to menopause. It helps ease the sudden heat and sweating which often is present during this trying time in women’s lives. This oil is also helpful in relieving the feeling of having over-indulged at the dinner table. Star Anise can help smooth out the discomfort and fullness of a “tight tummy.”

For a nice pick-me-up, diffuse 3 drops of Star Anise, 2 drops of Lemon and 1 drop of Peppermint. This same blend of oils in two teaspoons of carrier oil applied to the abdomen is also helpful with calming occasional digestive upset or a queasy stomach.

The International Federation of Aromatherapists does not recommend that Essential Oils be taken internally unless under the supervision of a Medical Doctor who is also qualified in clinical Aromatherapy. All cautions listed for individual oils do not include those cautions from ingestion.

5.0 5 Smells wonderful

I use star anise spice in cooking and the smell of that is amazing and strong. I love that the essential oil is much of the same - also strong and punchy... so use sparingly so it doesn't overpower if blending it with other oils

5.0 5 IF you like licorice

If you like licorice this is the oil for you. I personally do not so I will find something to blend it with to make it more tolerable. There is nothing wrong with the oil, just a preference of scent.

5.0 5 Smells like yummy licorice

Purchased this for âwomen sweatsâ from menopause. So glad to have something that actually helps without having to take another medication. Have also tried rubbing on my tummy from overeating, within minutes I felt relief.
