They both contain creosol and alpha-pinene, which help to loosen bronchial secretions. Anise essential oil can be diffused to ease the breath of a cold sufferer, or blended in massage oils to ease chest congestion. Anise seeds make a tasty tea that are particularly appropriate in cases of unproductive cough. Used as a cough suppressant, anise is an ingredient in many cough medicines and lozenges. As an expectorant, anise helps to loosen and get rid of phlegm in the respiratory tract. Phyllis A. Balch, Prescription for Herbal Healing (2002) |
