Dill Essential Oil

Description

Dill Essential Oil

Dill Seed Essential Oil is a very gently aromatic aromatherapy oil which resembles the scent of the herb from which it is made.

The essential oil is extracted from the seeds of the Dill plant, and can be used instead of the herb for cooking purposes.

Derived from the Old Norse word dilla (“to lull”), Dill Essential Oil is often used to calm the nervous system and manage anxiety. It is also noted for its ability to help manage ADHD symptoms in children when combined with calming oils like Chamomile Roman Essential Oil and Chamomile German Essential Oil.

Dill Essential Oil is blessed with an important skincare benefit: It promotes elastin stimulation: Research suggests that Dill Seed Essential Oil can boost skin health by stimulating elastin synthesis, which helps improve skin elasticity and firmness.

Dill Essential Oil Traditional Health Benefits

Dill Essential Oil has been used traditionally for many conditions and purposes.

Dill Essential Oil, made from Anethum graveolens seeds, possesses a unique profile due to high concentrations of carvone and dillapiol. These constituents offer specific therapeutic benefits that are distinct from other common herbal oils.

Key benefits, that are unique to, or are highly characteristic, of Dill Essential Oil include:

Intense Post-C-Section Gas & Pain Relief: Studies have shown that Dill Essential Oil can significantly reduce flatulence and abdominal pain after Cesarean sections. One study indicates a 33% reduction in gas intensity and a 3 x reduction in pain compared to placebos.

High-Carvone “Gripe Water” Properties: While fennel is often used for digestion, Dill Seed Essential Oil is particularly renowned for its high carvone content, making it a powerful, gentle carminative used specifically for treating colic and hiccups, even in babies (under expert guidance).

Lactation Support: It is traditionally used by nursing mothers to support milk production and to treat breast congestion.

Unique Culinary/Antimicrobial Preservation: Known for its use in pickling, it acts as a potent antimicrobial and antibacterial agent, specifically used to restrict spoilage and prevent bacteria growth in foods.

Deep Tissue Relaxation & Diuretic: It is highly effective at relieving spasms in muscles, intestines, and the respiratory system, while acting as a gentle diuretic to reduce water retention.
