Drinking fennel (saunf) water nightly for a month aids digestion, reduces bloating, detoxifies the liver, balances hormones, improves sleep, enhances skin glow, supports weight loss, boosts immunity, regulates blood sugar, and strengthens bones via antioxidants, fiber, and compounds like anethole.
Fennel seed (saunf) water, a traditional Ayurvedic remedy, delivers cumulative benefits when consumed nightly for 30 days. Soak 1 tsp seeds overnight in warm water, strain, and sip before bed. Its volatile oils, fiber, and antioxidants trigger progressive changes across digestion, metabolism, and detoxification.
Starting Week 1, users report eased bloating and better bowel regularity as fennel's carminative properties relax gut muscles, reducing gas by 40-50%. By Week 2, liver detox ramps up—diuretic effects flush toxins, easing fatty liver symptoms noted in studies on methanolic extracts.
Hormonal balance emerges mid-month, particularly for women, with phytoestrogens alleviating PMS and menopause hot flashes. Sleep quality improves via mild sedative anethole, cutting insomnia episodes. Skin benefits peak by Day 30: antioxidants combat oxidative stress for clearer, hydrated complexion.
