    On One Hand: Stomach Benefits

    Fennel is an herb indigenous to southern Europe, also cultivated in the United States. According to OrganicFacts.Net, fennel can be used for nausea, cramps, flatulence, constipation, indigestion and increases gastric secretions, which benefits digestion. Fennel also helps remove toxic substances by increasing the frequency and amount of urination.

    On the Other: Not FDA Approved

    According to Drugs.Com, fennel is not approved by the Federal Drug Administration, and its manufacturing standards are not regulated. There are occasions when herbal supplements are contaminated with other drugs or toxic metals. Also, according to Drugs.Com, too much fennel can result in irregular heart beats, trouble breathing or neurotic problems.

    Bottom Line

    Fennel benefits the stomach and digestive functionality. However, neural and cardiovascular problems could occur when too much fennel is ingested. Talk to your doctor before taking fennel if you have a seizure disorder or take medication to treat one.
