Star Anise – a perfect Winter herb

Star anise (or ‘Ba Jiao Hui Xiang’ if you want to impress your friends 😊 ) is your perfect addition to foods during the cold Winter months. It disperses cold and warms the interior. It also moves the Qi (energy) in your digestive area, making it ideal for abdominal pain/colic, nausea or vomiting – especially if they are caused by Cold.

Good to know: Star anise is one of the ‘five-spice powder’ ingredients.
