Digestion and Milk Flow
One of Fennel's main actions is to settle the digestive tract and is especially helpful in relieving colic, wind, stomach cramps, indigestion and bloating. It can increase milk flow in breastfeeding mothers and may be drunk by breastfeeding mother to help settle their colicky babies. Fennel seeds also have a mild expectorant action and so can be used to break up phlegm in coughs and bronchitis.
