Furthermore, an experimental trial was conducted, where 117 participants were divided into three groups, comprising a waiting list control group and two experimental groups treated with essential oils. The anxiety and depression indexes were evaluated by Zung Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) and Zung Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS). &lt;strong&gt;Results: &lt;/strong&gt;chemical analysis showed that trans- Anethole was the main component, both in the essential oil from aerial parts (35.5%) and seeds (79.2%). Anxiety and depression scores showed a decrease in posttest study phase in comparison with pretest in all experimental groups (p&amp;lt;0.05), except for depression scores in the group treated with essential oil from aerial parts (p&amp;gt;0.05). Small changes were found in the case of anxiety for group treated with essential oils from aerial parts (d = 0.41; Δ= 0.40) while moderate (d = 0.86; Δ = 0.85) and small (d = 0.38; Δ = 0.39) changes were found for anxiety and depression respectively, in the group treated with essential oil from seeds. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; The essential oil from &lt;em&gt;Foeniculum vulgare&lt;/em&gt; seeds is more effective to relief anxiety than depression while the essential oil from&lt;em&gt; Foeniculum vulgare&lt;/em&gt; aerial parts only exhibit small changes for anxiety.&lt;/p&gt;
