Do you know this feeling of taking a long walk through nature with the children in southern countries and snacking on the flowers or seeds of wild fennel along the way? The sweet, anise-like taste sometimes reminds one a little of licorice and simply puts you in a good mood. However, the essential oil of fennel seeds is far too concentrated for consumption, but when heavily diluted, it can be delightful for a belly massage.
