precursor of many alkaloids, aromatic amino acids, indole
derivatives, and it alsobe
widely used as a chiral building block for the synthesis of

4. Safety
Concerns
Star anise is safe when
used as a flavoring in foods. There is not enough information to
know if it's safe for use as a
medicine. Some
ingredients can cause skin problems including swelling, scaling,
and blisters when applied to the skin. Star anise
should not
be given to infants. It can cause severe nervous system problems,
including seizures.The
star anise used as medicine is Chinese star anise. Japanese star
anise is poisonous and should not be taken.
Some Chinese star anise
tea products have been contaminated with Japanese star anise. You
cannot tell the difference between
them just by looking. Unless safety can be assured by chemical
analysis, star anise tea should not be used.
5. Dosage
Information
The appropriate dose of
star anise depends on several factors such as the user's age,
health, and several other
conditions. At
this time there is not enough scientific information to determine
an appropriate range of doses for star
anise. Keep
in mind that natural products are not always necessarily safe and
dosages can be important. Be
sure to follow relevant directions on product labels and consult
your pharmacist or physician or other healthcare professional
before using.
