Used in traditional medicine for its antispasmodic and carminative properties, apiole has been employed to relieve gastrointestinal discomfort and menstrual irregularities. It exhibits antimicrobial activity, making it useful in formulations targeting bacterial and fungal infections. Historically, it was used as an abortifacient, though this application is now discouraged due to toxicity risks. Apiole also serves as a natural flavoring agent in food and fragrances, contributing a parsley-like aroma. In agriculture, it shows potential as a natural pesticide due to its insecticidal properties. Research explores its role in antioxidant therapies, where it may help reduce oxidative stress in cells.
