Dill Herb oil

Whatsapp Order

Dill Herb Oil is a steam-distilled essential oil extracted from the fresh or partially dried herbaceous parts of the Anethum graveolens plant, commonly known as dill. Unlike dill seed oil, which is distilled from the seeds, dill herb oil has a lighter, fresher, and slightly grassy aroma with a faint sweetness and subtle spicy undertones. It is valued for its carminative, digestive, antispasmodic, antimicrobial, and calming properties.

This oil is traditionally used in digestive remedies, culinary formulations, aromatherapy blends, and topical preparations. It’s a common ingredient in natural health products, skincare, and child-friendly wellness products due to its mildness and effectiveness. Dill herb oil is also employed in food and beverage applications and niche perfumery for its green, aromatic character.
