Star anise - Import export

Star anise seeds contain natural compounds called anethol and eugenol, which have potential antibacterial, antifungal and antiviral properties. These properties are attributed to their effects on the cell membranes of microorganisms. Because of these properties, star anise has long been used in traditional medicine to treat a variety of conditions, including the flu, colds, coughs and other respiratory infections. However, it should be noted that scientific evidence regarding the benefits of star anise for these conditions is limited and further research is needed to confirm these potential benefits. In addition, it is important to note that the use of star anise in high doses may result in adverse side effects, such as nausea, vomiting, seizures and hallucinations. Therefore, it is recommended that you consult a health care practitioner before using star anise for medicinal purposes.
