I’ve been fighting symptoms related to sinus cysts for over 50 years. An acute attack in the early 80s destroyed my career after graduating mcl with an MS, 5 years university chem/math. It took five years to recover, and involved criminal activity many times by people looking for victims – that includes family members whose health was later also destroyed. I believe a microbial infection of some kind is involved in all these tragedies. A month ago I started drinking star anise tea, not thinking much about it, then all of this toxic crud suddenly started flowing out of the body, especially the sinus area, and the cyst has softened and reduced in size. It seems very possible that another month of two of the anise tea will entirely purge the infections and toxins, may also cure my sons autism and my daughter’s many neurological and muscle problems.

Hi. I am a naturopath, and you’re all on the right track, even more than you know.

I have much more information on star anise and its benefits.

I found out about the star anise BEFORE I contacted this website… the truth is definitely out there… Never doubt that the cure for all illnesses (physical and emotional) lie within Mother Earth. Hail Gaia!

Recently (mid 8th 2009) when I got somekind of Flu,

I ate raw chinese star anise and I made teas with chinese star anise and others like ginger,chinese date ,yellow sugar..
I recovered from that flu.
Also my friend drinked with me,she also recoverd.

So I agree with this article.
..
So,I want to know more about star anise through web.
I found there are many wrong,incorrect articles.

I also read FDA’s article and warning.

read belows please.

Japanese star anise is toxic,chinese star anise good for general eating I found.

Anyway I believe chinese star anise is good for flu with tea.
From Korea.

The oil is more concentrated than the powder, therefore more effective. Even though Star Anise is used to make Tamiflu I still would not wholly rely on it for preventing flu symptoms. I would use multiple things if I contact the flu. Please check out my blog post “What I would do for the Flu” for more information.

Great info! Be very careful though, the FDA is clamping down on anybody selling anything that claims to aid in preventing or getting over the flu. The famous Dr Weil just got a nasty cease and desist letter for making the same claim about one of his products.

I have some dried star anise – could that effectively be used as a tea, or is it only the oil used topically that’s effective?
