Medicinal: Anise is an herb. The seed and oil are used to make medicine. Less commonly, the root and leaf are used to make medicine as well. Do not confuse anise with other herbs called star anise or fennel. These are sometimes called anise.

Anise is used for upset stomach, intestinal gas, runny nose, and as an expectorant to increase productive cough. It is also used to increase urination and to stimulate the appetite. Women use anise to increase milk flow when nursing, start menstruation, treat menstrual discomfort or pain, ease childbirth, and increase sex drive. Men use anise to treat symptoms of "male menopause." Other uses include treatment of seizures, nicotine dependence, trouble sleeping (insomnia), asthma, diabetes, and constipation.

Some people apply anise directly to the skin to treat lice, scabies, and psoriasis.

As aromatherapy, anise is used for nausea.
