Notes
The catalogue uses the plant-part filter "leaf" for this row — the drug part is the aromatic schizocarp (fruit), not foliage.
Why it works
The HMPC monograph targets anise fruit and its essential oil; an aromatic fruit infusion is the closest everyday parallel. Do not exceed duration of use from the monograph for unsupervised preparations.
