I use a liquid version of fennel (Amazon: Edens Garden Fennel- Sweet Essential Oil, 100% Pure Therapeutic Grade). Fennel has been suggested for some as a supplement for NBE and weight loss. I use a few drops on my thigh every couple of days. I am taking warfarin and I have a home INR measuring device (blood "thinner" factor). Recently I stopped taking all other supplements except fennel. I have noted that my INR has jumped very high while taking the fennel (not good). I am posting this as a caution for those who maybe on blood thinners. Foods high in vitamin K lower the INR and may help counter act the blood thinning effect of fennel. Green tea is mentioned in some Rx websites as high in vitamin K.
