Fennel Seed

Fennel Seed

Fennel seed is probably the worlds most effective gas remedy, even for kids. In one study, parents gave their infants a fennel preparation. The infants randomly received 5-20 ml of a 0.1 percent fennel seed oil emulsion, or placebo, up to 4 times daily, for one week. The kids taking the fennel formula had a significant 45 percent decrease in colic symptoms, compared to a 5 percent symptom drop from the placebo. Overall, fennel eliminated 65 percent of the colic.
