Spicy-sweet characteristic licorice scent

Cautions:

Star Anise oil is estrogenic and therefore should not be used in pregnancy, breastfeeding, endometriosis, estrogen-sensitive cancers, and children under 5 years of age. We recommend a maximum dilution of 1.75%.

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.

3.0 5  Stronger scent than I expected

Star Anise is described as having a medium fragrance strength, so when I diffused it with U.S. Western Peppermint and Lemon, both rated as strong fragrance strengths I was surprised to find the Anise over whelmed both other scents. I can\'t smell either the peppermint nor the lemon. Even after I finished diffusing the 3 oils, wiped out the duffuser clean and tried diffusing just the peppermint and lemon alone, the residual anise scent over powered the first diffusing and has still present in subsequent 5 diffusing, however it has faded more and more faint with each batch. \nThe scent is delicious ( I really like black licorice) however I just wanted a hint of Anise. I prefer Anise as an accent to other main scents/flavors. It would be difficult to use this Anise as an accent (diffusing) because it is so potent. In fact it seems like a waste of other oils to diffuse Anise with them as they won\'t be detectable. I only use oil to diffuse so it\'s not for me. \nThe bottle lable suggests a mixture of 3 drops Anise, 2 drops lemon and 1 drop peppermint which surprises me. In my experience of using the three all in equal parts neither the peppermint nor the lemon were discernable.

    As you may be aware, starting July 1st 2018 Australia will charge a 10% GST (Goods & Service Tax) on ALL imported shipments. In the past this tax was only charged on orders over $1,000. Plant Therapy is always striving for the best customer experience and this new Australian tax, although not exclusive to Plant Therapy, is going to affect our Australian customers greatly. Below you can find the most frequently asked questions and Plant Therapy’s response.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Q: Why did Plant Therapy raise the minimum order value for free shipping from $50 to $75?
    A: Unfortunately because of the way Plant Therapy has to collect the new GST, we can no longer ship to Australia through a postal carrier. Because of this, Plant Therapy’s shipping costs have doubled. We have raised the minimum order value the least amount that we could to help cover these extra shipping costs.

    Q: How is the new 10% GST collected on orders from PlantTherapy.com?
    A: Plant Therapy will be collecting the new 10% GST at checkout. All shipments to Australia are shipped Duties, Customs, and Taxes paid.

    Q: Will the new 10% GST slow down my order at customs?
    A: It should not. We have been in contact with the postal carriers to try and figure this out but because this is a new tax that Australia has implemented, we are not quite sure what to expect. We will be doing testing of our own to see what happens at customs and will update our answer as soon as we have more information.

    Q: Will PlantTherapy.com be updated to include prices in AUD currency?
    A: At this time Plant Therapy does not have the capabilities to allow our Australian customers to pay with their local currency. We have discussed an option to include retail prices shown in AUD. However, Australian customers would not be able to pay in AUD and the invoice would still show US dollars. Please let us know what you, our Australian customers, would prefer.

** PLEASE NOTE: Free international shipping excludes all single items that have shipping weight over 4.4 LBS. Plant Therapy will choose the shipping method for international shipments that qualify for free shipping.
