Anise has been a popular remedy here in North America for hundreds of years as carminative (relief of gas pains),colic, rheumatism, and of course in the famous licorice tasting cough drops. The therapeutic powers of anise's phytochemicals, including creosol and alpapinene, are so apparent and well-established that the herb is commonly used in preparations to break up congestion, ease coughing, and relieve gas.
