Anise Star (Illicium verum)
£4.74 – £42.70
The essential oil of anise star resides in the pericarp, not in the seed. This essential oil offers a spicy, warm, liquorice-like aroma like anise seed, but slightly stronger. Anise Star Essential Oil has a warming effect on the respiratory and circulatory systems that make it a cordial.
Be aware that Anise Star and Anise Seed (Pimpinella anisum) despite their similar liquorice aroma are completely different oils with different aromatherapeutic properties. For accuracy identify the oil by its botanical name.
