Dill Weed (Wild) Essential Oil

Known botanically as Anethum graveolens, dill weed is a member of the parsley family. It is native to the eastern Mediterranean region and western Asia. The word dill comes from the old Norse word dylla, meaning to soothe or lull. The plant dates back in writing to about 3000 B.C., where it was mentioned in Egyptian medical texts.

The leaves, flowers, and oval flat seeds of the dill plant are all edible. The plant has thin, feathery green leaves, of which only about the top eight inches are used.

Dill weed contains the carminative agent, carvone, which has a calming effect and the Romans considered dill good luck and also used it as a tonic.

Dill seeds are also high in calcium, with 1 tablespoon providing an equivalent of 1/3 cup of milk.

Natural Touch Dill Weed Essential oil is 100% pure and supplied as a colorless or pale yellow mobile liquid with a powerful, sweet-spicy aroma. It blends well with elemi, mints, caraway seed, nutmeg, spice and citrus oils.
