Fennel is native to southern Europe, particularly around the Mediterranean. It has become naturalized in many other non-tropical parts of the world - Japan, Persia, India and the USA - growing mostly beside the sea. It was introduced to northern Europe by the Romans, and to the USA by early European settlers. It is a hardy perennial, with a haze of blue-green feathery leaves, and umbels of yellow flowers followed by seeds.
The essential oil: Although all parts of the plant are aromatic, it is the seeds which are crushed and distilled for the essential oil. This is usually colourless, sometimes a very pale yellow. It has a very characteristic and strong aroma reminiscent of anise, but which is softer and more camphor-like. The principal constituents: Anethol, up to 60 per cent; others are anisic aldehyde, camphene, d-fenchone, dipentene, estragol, fenone, phellandrene and pinene.Properties: Antispasmodic neuromuscular psycho-active.
