Gifts from this plant: Fennel seeds are one of my favorite digestive remedies for any kind of stomach ache, indigestion or constipation. Sprinkle them on your food or make a nice cup of fennel seed tea after a meal. Fennel flowers are edible and have a sweet flavor that taste delicious on salads and in soups. Fennel seed tea is also a great tea for breastfeeding moms. It helps to increase the quality of breast milk.
