What is Ferula?

Ferula is a permanent, herbal plant from the Eastern Mediterranean region. Ferula, also known as ordinary giant fennel, has a long and ancient history as a medicinal plant and in mythology. His tall, hollow stem was reportedly used by Prometheus to steal the fire from the sun on the ground. In fact, the name "ferula" means a carrier or vehicle. Today, Ferula is used in Indian and Asian cooking and also in its soothing healing properties. Thanks to its bitter taste and extremely strong odor, it goes a little long way, regardless of the reason it uses it. Its yellow flowers grow in Umbels, which are clusters with stems radiating from the central point. Although the original people eat their heads similar to cabbage, the others are discouraged by its persistent odor-especially in raw form-and bitter flavors. Men find that it is stronger than onion or garlic. It is this odor that gives ferule nicknames "stinking rubber" and "devilish droppings". In the Mediterraneanis used mostly in vegetable meals in very small quantities. In general, more than half of the teaspoon (2.5 ml) are added to the bowl.

At the beginning of the 20th century, Ferula was a source of drugs and spices asafetid, which was obtained from the roots and stems of the plant. It was used to calm the nerves, calm stomachs and abdomen and relieve mental depression. Sometimes it was believed to help bronchial coughing because it was exhaled by the lungs. Again, the use of only small quantities was crucial because a larger amount tended to cause headaches and dizziness.

The healing use of Ferula Spice has come again in favor, and many now claim that it has the advantages of calming the symptoms of diseases in the extent of asthma on stomach sickness on the influenza. Side effects are possible and move from rash on the skin to stomach pain and headaches. It is always good to consult a doctor before trying any herbsof any drugs or remedial measures.
