Anise Oil, Pure Essential Oil 1 oz, NOW Foods

From the sublime to the fantastic, Anise Seed has experienced a multitude
of uses during the course of history. It was used to perfume the clothing of
King Edward IV, as a food flavoring during the Middle Ages, and to fund repairs
on the London Bridge, for which a special tax was added to the sale of anise
seed. Pliny the Elder, author of the first encyclopedia, claimed its seeds had
the power to prevent bad dreams if placed beneath the sleeper's pillow. Anise
seed (or aniseed) is a member of the parsley family, and its flavor resembles
licorice. Used medicinally since prehistoric times, anise seed remains a staple
in aromatherapy.
