INDO BIO ORGANICS Pure Aniseed Essential Oil (Pimpinella anisum)100% Natural Therapeutic Grade Steam Distilled 15ml

Description:

Aniseed is an annual plant growing to about 60cm (2 feet) in height. It has feathery and delicate leaves and yellow-tinged flowers. It also sprouts hairy fruit seeds, from which the oil is extracted.

Aniseed essential oil is a highly aromatic oil derived from the seeds of the Pimpinella anisum plant, which is native to the Mediterranean region and Southwest Asia. Aniseed, also known as anise, has been used for centuries for its culinary, medicinal, and aromatic properties. The essential oil is obtained through steam distillation of the crushed seeds, resulting in a potent and fragrant oil with a distinct licorice-like aroma.
