Explain how many times did you do this... did you ground the seeds or just swallowed them ...and if you did how many did you swallow per night?

Fennel can help with dark circles due to its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, which reduce puffiness and brighten the under-eye area. It can be used in several ways, including as a cooled tea applied with cotton pads, as a diluted essential oil mixed with a carrier oil like coconut oil, or as an ingredient in specialized eye creams or serums.

How to use fennel for dark circles:

Fennel tea compress: Brew fennel seeds or tea bags in hot water, let the liquid cool completely, then soak cotton pads in the solution. Place the pads over your closed eyes for about 10 minutes to help reduce puffiness.

Fennel oil blend: Mix a drop or two of fennel essential oil with a carrier oil like coconut oil. Gently pat the mixture under your eyes before bed, using a light touch.
