The ancients claimed Fennel promoted longevity, perhaps because of its similarity to estrogen. Athletes are known to use Sweet Fennel in baths or massage oils to tone muscles. It restores muscle tone and vitality to people convalescing after an illness. Sweet Fennel is known to pull out poisons from insect and snake bites.
