In Chinese medicine, Anise Star is used to help replenish Qi (chi) and can be used in Aromatherapy Massage for this purpose. Because of this, many can feel the relief of pain and stiffness in the muscles and joints. It can help restore your energy or Qi when feeling both physically and mentally exhausted or fatigued. When you give your body what it needs to restore and replenish itself, the results are increased energy as well as the desire or will to do more because your strength comes from within.
