Using Star Anise in Cooking

 

Star anise plays a key role in the slow cooked dishes that characterize Eastern Chinese cuisine. Its licorice flavor enhances red cooked dishes, as well as eggs simmered in black tea. Star anise is one of the spices in 

 

five-spice powder. Outside of China, star anise is featured in several of Vietnam's signature dishes, such as Pho Bo soup. It is also  the secret ingredient in many Indian stews and curries. Star anise can replace regular anise in western recipes.

 

Medical Uses of Star Anise

 

In traditional Chinese medicine, star anise is prescribed as a digestive aid and to help cure colic in babies. More recently, Shikimic Acid, extracted from star anise, is one of the chief ingredients in the antiviral Tamiflu drug used to fight avian influenza.

 

Description of essential oil:

 

Aniseed essential oil is extracted from the seeds of the herb Pimpinella anisum (also known as P. officinale and vulgare), of the Umbelliferae family. It has a pungent liquorice-like smell and is also known as anise and sweet cumin. It should not be confused with Illicium verum, which is star anise and belongs to the Illiciaceae family.  This warm, spicy essential oil is often used in aromatherapy to ease the discomfort of introverted and fearful  people, while aiding the digestion, boosting the lungs and easing migraines and headaches. The oil is of medium  viscosity and will solidify at low temperatures and it may need to be hand-warmed before use. 

 

Aniseed oil can be useful in the treatment of muscular aches and pains, rheumatism, bronchitis, whooping cough, colic, cramp, flatulence, indigestion, catarrh and hangovers.
