In ayurveda, fennel is regarded as one of the most sattvic
spices. It pacifies Vata and Pitta, and is helpful for digestion
for Kapha in small quantities.
Fennel is a sweet tasting cooling spice.
This spice is wonderful for enhancing the digestive
agni(fire). Eating fennel seeds after a meal helps
digestion and freshens the breath. Fennel is also helpful for
facilitating cleansing.
Fennel combines well with other ayurvedic spices such as cumin, coriander, turmeric, clove, and cardamom.
Fennel seeds can be sautéed in ghee and added to prepared dishes
at the end. Sautéing in ghee releases the rich aroma and
flavor of fennel, and ghee also works as a carrier to help transport
the therapeutic benefit of the spice to the cells and tissues
of the body.
Fennel Tea is soothing for the stomach and digestive system.
