Flos magnolia (Illicium Verum, Magnoliaceae, Star
Flos magnolia is a traditional
Chinese herb/bush now popular both in Europe and the Americas,
and it has been historically used to aid in the proper cleansing
of the lower digestive tract, bring balance to the system once
again, and is thought to be effective as well in bringing some
clearing to stuffy noses and associated problems. Flos magnolia,
or Chinese Star anise (which should not be confused with Japanese
Star anise, I. lanceolatum, which is highly poisonous), acts
as a gentle cleanser of the lower tract, soothing the intestinal
tract from minor irritations. While warming and lubricating
the muscles of the lower tract, Flos magnolia aids the body
in expelling stored and attached materials which have adhered
to the intestinal walls.
