Transcription of the video
Star Anise grows on an evergreen tree that is a member of the magnolia family. This tree primarily grows in China and Vietnam. The fruits are picked before they ripen, then allowed to dry around seeds that are arranged in the pattern of an eight-pointed star.
As a spice, star anise is a staple in Chinese, Thai, and Vietnamese cuisine. It’s also used to treat a broad range of issues in Traditional Chinese Medicine. It was brought to Europe in the 17th century, where it was used to enhance fruit preserves, jams, puddings, and syrups.
In contemporary times, oil that is extracted from the fruit is used in mouthwash, perfume, toothpaste, and cosmetics. A tincture is often made for medicinal purposes.
Star anise is an excellent herb to carry and to use ritually for spiritual protection, good luck, and to enhance psychic abilities. It also possesses powerful properties that protect against bacterial and fungal infections.
A Japanese variety of star anise, which is poisonous, is often planted around tombs and temples. The bark is burned as incense.
