Historical Use of Foeniculum vulgare
Foeniculum vulgare in Traditional Chinese Medicine
Background
Chinese Name (pinyin): Xiaohuixiang
Chinese Name :
Common Name :Common Fennel Fruit
Specific Name : Fructus foeniculi
Scientific Name:
Collection : The plant is cut in autumn when the fruit nearly ripe, dried in the sun and then tapped off and remove from foreign matter.
Description : Cremocarp, cylindrical, some slightly curved, 4 - 8mm long, 1.5 - 2.5mm in diameter. Externally yellowsih green or pale yellow, tapering slightly towards both ends, apex bearing remains of yeloowiish brown, projecting stylopodium, sometimes having small fruit stalk at the base. Mericarp elongated elliptical with each dorsal surface bearing five ribs and commissurall srface flattened and broad. Transverse section showing a pentagonal, the four sides of dorsal surface nearly equal in length. Odor characteristically aromatic, taste slightly sweet and pungent
Identification : Transverse section of mericarp: exocarp consisting of 1 layer of flattened cells, covered cuticle at outside. Mesocarp with 5 ribs each containing a vascular bundle surrounded by numerous lignified reticulate cells. Vittae 6, of 4 situated in the dorsal with a large, elliptical and brown vitta between every 2 ribs and 2 commissural. Endocarp consisting of 1 layer of flattened thin walled cells varying in length. The testa cells compressed and elongated, copntaining brown contents. Endosperm cells polygonal, filled with aleurone grains, each embedding a minute cluster of calcium oxalate.Foreign matter: not more than 4.0% (Appendix lX A)Total ash: not more than 10.0%
Processing : Eliminate foreign matterProcessed with salt: stir fry as describe under the method for processing with salt-water (Appendix ll D) to yellowish.
Action : To dispel cold and relieve pain, to regulate the stomach function. Fructus foeniculi (processed with salt): TO dispel cold from the interior and relieve pain.
Indication : scrotal hernia with pain irradiating to the lower extremities, dysmenorrhea with lower abdominal pain and cold sensation, distending pain in the epigastrium with anorexia, vomiting and diarrhea; hydrocele of tunica vaginalis
Precautions :
Dosage : 3 to 6 g.
Storage : Preserve in a cool and dry place.
