Studies have found that anise myrtle has outstanding antioxidant activity, as well as containing lutein, folate, vitamin E and vitamin C. Anise myrtle has also been found to have exceptional quantities of the compound anethole, which gives the leaf its aniseed flavour and aroma. Trans-anethole rich herbs have traditional uses in treating conditions such as anorexia and reflux and to help settle intestinal cramps, colic and flatulence.
