Fennel seeds are supposed to help reduce gas because of their great digestive effects and antibacterial capabilities. This seed facilitates bowel movement by increasing digestive motility and preventing gas build-up. And, because of its antibacterial properties (mostly derived from anethole, an organic molecule in the seed), it stops bacteria from developing and emitting gases in the first place.
