Mechanistic basis
This use is associated with the plant's antimicrobial action. Further evidence for that pharmacology:
Anise (Pimpinella anisum) leaf extracts were chromatographically profiled and showed antimicrobial efficiency and cytotoxicity, characterising the antimicrobial bioactive potential of anise.
Anise (Pimpinella anisum) seeds showed in vitro antigiardial (antiparasitic) activity alongside their nutritional value, supporting the antimicrobial use of anise.
