Star Anise Essential Oil
Illicium verum | Seeds | Steam Distilled | Origin: China
Star Anise Essential Oil carries a bold, spicy sweet liquorice aroma that is instantly recognisable and deeply invigorating. Steam distilled from the dried fruit of Illicium verum, this oil has long been revered in Traditional Chinese Medicine as a warming and dispersing agent, used to move stagnant qi, support the lungs, and warm the digestive system.
Historically known as “Siberian cardamom,” Star Anise was introduced to Europe via trade in the late 1500s, prized for both its flavour and therapeutic potential. Today, it remains a cherished oil for its comforting effects on digestion, chest tightness, and energetic fatigue. It’s also a natural aromatic stimulant, perfect in blends designed to restore clarity and counter sluggishness.
While similar to Aniseed in aroma and use, Star Anise is notably sharper and more intense, making it ideal for spice forward blends and targeted diffusion. It should be used with care and always diluted due to its potent chemical profile.
