Scientific Summary

Myrrhis odorata, commonly known as cicely, is a perennial herb whose aromatic leaves, stems, and seeds are used as a spice and traditional medicinal remedy. It is most often employed for digestive support, reducing bloating and stimulating appetite, and is also used as a mild anti‑inflammatory and antiseptic agent. Caution is advised with large doses, as the plant contains alkaloids that can cause gastrointestinal irritation; persons pregnant, breastfeeding, or on medication should consult a healthcare professional before use.
