History: Star Anise is often chewed in small quantities after each meal to promote digestion and sweeten the breath. The Japanese plant the tree in their temples and on tombs; and use the pounded bark as incense. Homeopaths can prepare tinctures from the seeds.
Cautions: Anise star is generally non-toxic and non-irritating (unlike Illicium anisatum the Japanese variety that is long considered toxic).

This stuff is AWESOME!! Smells like REAL natural black licorice and was an instant hit in my HP soaps. Potent scent lasts all the way through the soap. Better quality and smell then other brands I've tried!

Very potent scent. Used in a body cream with lavendar, rosewood and a touch of ylang. Beautiful warm relaxing scent. A little goes a long long way with this oil.
