I already add it to various dishes, but not on a regular basis. Is 1-2 cups per day acceptable? It's getting cool now and hot tea is always a plus. Is it okay to drink a variety of nutritious teas daily? I’ve just read about the benefits of fennel and plan to start making the tea. I already add it to various dishes, but not on a regular basis.

Can a patient use fennel for IBS episodes, instead of Dr. perscribed oral Dicyclomine (Bentyl) if that patient has had a stroke, caused by Atrial Fib. and is on warfarin? Because of the estrogen-like activity that fennel causes I would think this would be dangerous for warfarin users. I love your wonderful site but wish we could have opportunity to submit questions.
