This is an excellent list – Thanks for compiling it. It would be nice to expand the list and group them by what symptoms they relieve. That way you could simply refer to the list and look for the treatment for XYZ ailment. Thanks again; I’ll definately refer back here from time to time.

Interesting list.

Fennel seeds, however, are nothing like Star Anise. I can dig on eating a half teaspoon of Fennel seeds, but a half teaspoon of Star Anise, not.
