It's apparently used for medical reasons, including digestive problems
To this day, too, so not just an 18th century thing. I have drunk fennel tea for that reason myself, but I can't tell you if it made a difference or if there is any scientific proof for its effectiveness. It's also given to babies (mixed with milk!) when they are having digestive troubles, so it can't have hurt at least.
