The German Association of Pediatricians and Adolescents warns once morest offering fennel tea to infants and children up to 4 years of age.

The association explained this by the fact that fennel contains the hormone estragole, the consumption of which in high doses has led to liver cancer in experiments conducted on animals, but its safety for infants has not been verified.

The association added that no precise limit has been set for the amount of the safe hormone estragol per day, so children under the age of 11 should drink fennel tea in moderation.

The association indicated that instead of fennel tea, abdominal pain in infants can be relieved through caraway tea, which contains volatile oils that stimulate the digestion process and relieve abdominal pain.

Abdominal pain in infants can also be relieved by gently massaging his abdomen in a clockwise direction.
