fennel is carminative, a weak diuretic and mild stimulant. The oil is added to purgative medication to prevent intestinal colic. Fennel was once used to stimulate lactation. It allays hunger and was thought to be a cure for obesity in renaissance europe. It should not be used in high dosages as it causes muscular spasms and hallucinations. Fennel has been used as a wash for eyestrain and irritations. Chinese and hindus used it as a snake bite remedy. The major constituents of fennel, which include the terpenoid anethole, are found in the volatile oil.

anethole and other terpenoids inhibit spasms in smooth muscles, such as those in the intestinal tract, and this is thought to contribute to fennel’s use as a gas relieving and gastrointestinal tract cramp relieving agent. Related compounds to anethole may have mild estrogenic actions, although this has not been proven in humans. Fennel is also thought to possess diuretic that is increase in urine production, choleretic that is increase in production of bile, pain reducing, fever reducing, and anti microbial actions.
