I have been gastritis for about a month and therefore I have been looking for remedies of stomach pain and other related stomach disorders. Fennel is an excellent stomach and intestinal remedy and also a diuretic. Its decoction is given to the infants for colic and flatulence.

Fennel as medicine:

1. Anaemia: Boil 6 spoons each crushed fennel and red rose petals in one and half teacup water and strain. Take twice daily and drink.

2. Indigestion and gas: Have roasted fennel daily after meals.

3. Constipation: Make a very fine powder of 1 spoon each of the following: fennel, dried ginger and rock salt. Take one spoon with water at bedtime.

4. Diarrhoea: Grind 3 spoon ginger along with 5 spoon fennel into a fine powder. Add enough honey to make a thick paste. Take one spoon in tea three times daily.

5. Colic: Boil 1 spoon fennel in a glass of milk for 10 minutes. Strain and drink. Drink 1 spoon teacup decoction of rose water with honey and fennel.
