Most Relevant Research

We explored the potential of Foeniculum vulgare, commonly known as fennel, in addressing allergies. The study involved a controlled comparison, where infants receiving an extract of fennel along with other herbal ingredients were monitored against a placebo group.

Although the results indicated that infants given the fennel extract experienced a reduction in crying time compared to those on placebo, the specifics on its impact on allergies were not highlighted. We're left with limited conclusive evidence regarding the direct benefits of fennel for allergy treatment. Effectively, while there was some noted reduction in distress behaviors in infants, the study doesn't robustly establish its effectiveness against allergies, leaving us with more questions than answers.

At this stage, it’s clear that the body of research concerning Foeniculum vulgare is still developing. Further focused studies are needed to give us a better understanding of its potential role in allergy management, if any.

Supports allergy management

Most Useful Review

This product is essential for my son, who has food allergies, intolerances, and severe reflux. After much effort to find the right diet and medication, this ginger ale alternative has been a blessing. It's the only safe option for nausea available for kids like him, and it works effectively. As a household staple, it also helps with carsickness and is a good value.

Lifesaver! I’m writing this at 3 AM. My twin babies have been waking up frequently and crying in pain. After checking everything, I tried gripe water to ease my son's discomfort. To my relief, it worked wonders! He stopped crying and fell back asleep quickly. This truly is a lifesaver for tired parents.

Cough

Relieves cough effectively

Most Useful Review

Life saver! When my boy was a week old, he had severe acid reflux that caused choking on his mucus. After trying this on a whim, I realised it helped him breathe easily. I give him a bit every morning mixed with prune juice, and it also soothes his throat when he coughs during dry air. It makes it easier for him to sleep comfortably. I highly recommend it.

Herbal remedy for constipation

Efficacy of the herbal formula of Foeniculum vulgare and Rosa damascena on elderly patients with functional constipation: A double-blind randomized controlled trial.

Most Relevant Research

We conducted a study to evaluate the effectiveness of an herbal formula combining Foeniculum vulgare (commonly known as fennel) and Rosa damascena (damask rose) in treating constipation among elderly individuals. In this double-blind, randomized controlled trial, participants aged over 60 and diagnosed with functional constipation received either the herbal formula or a well-known laxative, polyethylene glycol 4000, over a period of four weeks.

Our findings revealed that those using the herbal combination experienced more significant improvements in their constipation severity, stool consistency, and overall quality of life compared to those using the laxative. Both groups reported positive outcomes, but the herbal formula showed a greater impact on alleviating constipation symptoms. This suggests that Foeniculum vulgare, when paired with Rosa damascena, might be a promising alternative for managing constipation in older adults.

We also noted the potential benefits of this herbal treatment in terms of quality of life improvements, making it an appealing option for those seeking natural remedies. Despite the effectiveness seen in this trial, we still do not fully understand the exact mechanisms behind how F. vulgare works in easing constipation.

Improved my baby's gas, hiccups and constipation. My four-month-old son has been colicky and struggled with gas and constipation, having bowel movements every other day. After using Little Remedies Gripe Water daily since he was six weeks, his colic improved as he learned to roll over. However, after stopping Gripe Water, his constipation returned. I’m now convinced it is essential in managing his bowel movements and also alleviates his hiccups.

Fennel seed reduces diarrhea duration

Feeding fennel (Foeniculum vulgare) seed as a potential appetite stimulant for Holstein dairy calves: Effects on growth performance and health.

Most Relevant Research

In our exploration of how fennel seed powder affects dairy calves, we focused on its potential benefits in reducing diarrhea. We observed that a group of Holstein calves, divided into three different diets—one with no fennel, one with a low dose, and one with a higher dose—showed notable differences in health outcomes.

The calves fed with the higher dose of fennel seed powder (3 grams per day) experienced fewer days with elevated temperatures and a shorter duration of diarrhea compared to those without fennel. This suggests that fennel seed might be effective in supporting gut health in young calves by reducing the time they spend suffering from diarrhea.

Interestingly, the study also highlighted that while both male and female calves experienced health benefits from the fennel, female calves tended to have longer durations of diarrhea overall. However, the fennel did not seem to significantly affect treatment with medication for either gender.

Overall, it appears that incorporating fennel seed powder into the diet of dairy calves can lead to improved weight gain and a better growth profile, while also decreasing the incidence and duration of diarrhea. This could support better health and more robust growth in young livestock.

Infant reactions

Most Useful Review

Sorta works. This product is generally good but can cause diarrhea in some infants. I didn’t know this was possible until my child's paediatrician advised me. After replacing it with another product, the issue resolved. It can work for non-sensitive kids, but caution is advised.
