Mythology & History
Fennel has a legendary past—Greek mythology tells that Prometheus carried fire from the gods to humanity in a stalk of fennel, marking it as a symbol of vitality and empowerment. Medieval herbalists praised it for its warming, soothing qualities, while European home care traditionally combined fennel, dill, and baking soda for infant comfort.
As a spiritual aromatic, fennel is said to “bring infinite light” to the inner self, making it both grounding and elevating.
“Stimulating and revitalizing, fennel increases self-motivation and enlivens the personality.”
— Kathi Keville & Mindy Green
“Fennel brings the infinite light within it into the hidden shadows that may surround us.”
— Valerie Ann Worwood
