Star Anise - the Superstar Spice

Star anise is a spice that comes from an evergreen tree, and it has a sweet licorice smell. This spice helps with gut healing, it helps to fight off gut bacteria, fungi, and even the flu virus. It is also known for its disease-fighting and pain-relieving properties. Even in aromatherapy it can be used therapeutically to help with digestion, and ease aches and pains.

For those of you who love black licorice, you would absolutely love the smell and flavor of star anise tea. If you don't particularly like it, capsules are a great way to get the benefits while skipping the flavor. When it comes to drinking star anise in your tea, the stronger the brew the better. I highly recommend it for those of you with leaky gut issues or chronic pain.
