Fennel Sweet Essential Oil is derived from the seeds of Foeniculum vulgare, a plant known for its rich, aromatic profile, grown organically in the Hungarian countryside. This oil offers a warm, sweet, and slightly licorice-like scent, making it a popular choice in aromatherapy. Fennel Sweet Essential Oil is known for its ability to enhance focus and mental clarity, while promoting a sense of relaxation and well-being.

Aromatically, it blends very well with other essential oils in the citrus, mint, wood and spice families and is popularly used by aromatherapists, in diffusers, in perfume blends, in soothing balms and muscle rubs, in skincare products, and even added to the bath!

Energetically, Fennel Sweet oil is used as a Protective oil for the home against negative or unwanted energies providing strength and security. It enlivens the mind and encourages creativity. It provides balance and courage during times of loss. It stimulates positive change and is associated with beginnings, knowledge, money and renewal. 

Topical Application Information:

This essential oil is pure and undiluted, so if you wish to use it on your skin it will have to be diluted first. The general guide to using essential oils on your skin is that they should be diluted to a maximum of 3-5% in a carrier oil. 

Essential Oil Safety:

Always dilute essential oils before applying them to your skin as when undiluted they may cause skin irritations. It is always a good idea to do a small patch test somewhere like the back of your hand when using a new essential oil for the first time. 
DO NOT ingest essential oils. It is against the TGA (Therapeutic Goods Administration) Guidelines to suggest ingestion of essential oils in Australia. This is due to safety concerns around the harm an undiluted and highly concentrated essential oil can do when ingested. There are very few exceptions to this, which include a small number of essential oils allowed to be used in the food manufacturing industry in highly diluted amounts for flavouring and scent (such as Lavender and Peppermint), or when under the care of a qualified Naturopath or Aromatic Medicine Practitioner (holds recognised qualifications, and is a member of a Professional Association granting TGA exemptions).
It is always best to avoid using essential oils on or around your pets. Dogs process most essential oils similar to how humans do, and will usually not be bothered by most essential oils being diffused in a well ventilated space. Many dog shampoos and conditioners also contain essential oils. However we recommend you never leave a dog unsupervised in a room with an essential oil diffuser on. Cats do not tolerate essential oils and small amounts may be harmful, even using a diffuser in the same room may cause toxicity.
