Organic star anise

Word from Mikaël Zayat

Appeasement Peaceful sleep, easier digestion: star anise spreads its benefits throughout the body. Mood improves; fatigue disappears and motivation returns with clarity of mind allowing a more global vision of reality. Digestive, antispasmodic, sedative.

Word from Anny Schneider

It is the sunniest of anises because it comes from the Tropics. It brings joy to the heart and improves the most gloomy mood. In Asia and the Caribbean, it is administered in compresses and as a light herbal tea to babies suffering from colic. In cooking, in the form of powder or essential oil, added sparingly at the end of cooking, it sweetens desserts and stir-fries and makes them easier to digest. In tropical islands, it is an essential ingredient in “Rhum arrangé”, a mother tincture (or synergistic cocktail), digestive and euphoric. Star Anise essential oil is excellent for purifying the breath, relieving aerophagia and bloating. Furthermore, when applied topically and diluted, Anise is an antispasmodic and nervine, indicated for calming muscular pain, neuralgia and excess nervous tension. Star anise is found in several Mediterranean aperitifs and digestifs including Ouzo, Pastis and Sambuca.

Origin of this essential oil

This organic essential oil of Star Anise (or Badiane) from India is distilled from the fruits of the plant.
