It is also employed to flavor liquors. In India and certain other countries, anise is also used as a mouth freshener and digestive agent. The medicinal properties of this herb were known long ago in ancient Egypt, Greece, and Rome. The essential oil of anise is extracted by steam distillation of dried fruits of anise or Pimpinella Anisum, as it is known in botanical terminology, which yields a thin and clear oil of which anethol is the prime constituent, consisting of about 90 percent of it and is also responsible for its characteristic aroma. The other constituents are alpha-pinene, anisaldehyde, beta pinene, camphene, linalool, cis and trans-anethol, safrol, and acetoanisol.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eHealth Benefits Of Anise Essential Oil\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLet us see what is known about anise and what medicinal properties have been discovered so far.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.organicfacts.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/aniseessentialoilinfo.jpg\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAnti-epileptic \u0026amp; Anti-hysteric Effect\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSince anise essential oil has a narcotic and sedative effect, it can calm down epileptic and hysteric attacks by slowing down circulation, respiration, and nervous response, if administered in higher dosages.
