Fennel plant is a tall, upright herb with a bulbous base and feathery foliage. It is a perennial herb with feathery leaves and yellow flowers. It thrives in warm, sunny climates and well-drained, fertile soils, particularly in the Mediterranean region, India, and other temperate zones.

The oil is extracted through steam distillation of the crushed fennel seeds. It yields a pale yellow to colourless liquid with a sweet, anise-like aroma. The oil produced is rich in anethole and other compounds. Fennel oil is valued for its digestive, carminative, and expectorant properties. It is used in traditional medicine for digestive issues, respiratory ailments, and to stimulate milk production in lactating women. In aromatherapy, it is used to relieve bloating and promote relaxation. It also finds applications in the food and beverage industry. Fennel gives a unique flavour to culinary creations and liqueurs.
