Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Need help quick! Making fennel or anise tea questions

Hi, I'm going for hopefully an uneventful walk to some stores to pick up some staples and supplement and tea i can afford. Peppermnit is sort of iffy but sometimes works for me, but I get gassy really easily. So, with fennel and anise, or oregeno, do i just buy the herbs like they sell in the spice section?? I don't know where to buy a tea strainer or a tea ball and right now I don't have any way to go store-searching. I'm going to a drug store and an IGA store which are the closest stores to me. Is it okay to boil the anise, oregano, fennel, in the water and then scoop them out with a spoon?? Sorry I keep posting URGENT messages but it seems I have no time before I need to do something quick before i die, ya know? Thanks for your help everyone. I feel truly disgusting right now, but at least i had a shower. :P I'm starving and i need to buy some stuff otherwise i have a feeling this isn't going to go away.
