Medicinal
Ancient Egyptian artefacts have confirmed the medicinal use of dill in pain-relieving preparations made over three and a half thousand years ago.
Traditionally seen as an aromatic and warming digestive herb with relaxing and calming effects on the gut, it has often been used to relieve nausea, colic, and wind whilst assisting with appetite and digestion.
Dill is also said to increase the production of milk in breastfeeding mothers, and has been used commercially to treat infantile colic as a key ingredient in gripe water.
Caution: Avoid internal use of the essential oil.
