Feel Fennel!

In the Lorsch Manuscript, written in 800 CE, fennel was said to cause abortions, and in Macer’s Herbal, a manuscript from 1070, the plant was listed as a “menstrual purgative”. Although in 1694, Dr. John Peachy, a practicing physician in London, wrote that fennel prevented or hindered abortion. Meanwhile, it was also used to better one’s eyesight in order to see witches and warlocks!
