Product Description
Vernacular Names & Parts Used
Sounf, botanically identified as Foeniculum Vulgare, is commonly known as Sounf, Fennel, and Moti Saunf. The dried seeds (Beej) are aromatic, mildly sweet, and traditionally valued in Ayurveda and culinary systems for their digestive and cooling properties.
Ayurvedic Properties & Common Uses
In Ayurveda, Sounf is described as having Madhura (sweet) and Tikta (bitter) rasa, with Sheeta (cooling) virya, helping balance Pitta and Vata doshas. Traditionally, it is used to support digestion, reduce acidity and bloating, freshen breath, and soothe the digestive tract.
Sounf is commonly used in Kwath (decoctions), Churna formulations, herbal teas, and daily culinary practices, offering both therapeutic benefits and pleasant flavor. Classical Ayurvedic texts emphasize proper dosage, light roasting if required, and correct preparation methods for best results.
