Fennel Oil Contra IndicationsFennel Oil contains a compound known as Trans Aethole. This compound increases estrogen production in the body and should not be used by pregnant women or women with certain types of cancers. It might also interfere with the effectiveness of the birth control pill. Heavy dosages can result in convulsions and hallucinations. Individuals with epilepsy should avoid the use of Fennel Oil. Some people may be allergic to fennel seed oil. Fair skinned people using fennel oil are advised to use a sun block as the oil may make the skin more sensitive to sun and sunburn. Essential Oils are natural, contracted oils that have the fragrance of the plant from which they originated. Most typically, the oils are extracted from the plant through distillation. In many cases, the distillation process involves the use of steam. As steam passes through the plant’s stems, seeds, flowers or leaves, it assists in vaporizing the volatile compounds. While essential oils have various uses, they have a long documented history of medicinal value. Essential Oils can support overall health, act as a treatment or remedy for various medical or psychological conditions or help prevent infections and illness. Essential Oils should not be used on animals as they can have adverse effects.
