The name fennel is derived from the Latin word "foenum," meaning hay. Fennel is a biennial or perennial herb growing up to 2 meters in height with feathery green leaves and golden yellow flowers. Fennel essential oil is extracted from the seeds of Foeniculum vulgare var. dulce using steam distillation. It has a long history, with ancient cultures like the Chinese, Egyptians, and Romans using it for strength, longevity, and various medicinal purposes. Sweet fennel oil (the one we sell) is preferred over bitter fennel oil, which is not used in aromatherapy.
