Dill essential oil is extracted from Anethum sowa which is also known as Indian Dill.

The properties of these two types are very much alike, although the A. sowa is a more "rounded" oil in comparison. On the mental plane, dill oil is used in aromatherapy to combat the feeling of being overwhelmed and in times of crisis, while physically, it assists with digestion, easing constipation and flatulence, as well as hiccups. It promotes the healing of wounds on the skin. Dill oil has a grass-like smell and is pale yellow in color, with a watery viscosity. 

 

Gripe water is often made of the fresh herb and given to babies and children for colic, or other digestive disorders, but dill oil is not used for this purpose, as it is too strong. Dill oil has been known to help to overcome the feeling of being overwhelmed and is also helpful for digestive problems in adults, easingflatulence, constipation and hiccups. It is to ease the mind, calm headaches and help with excess sweating due to nervous tension. It can also stimulate milk flow innursing mothers and promotes the healing of wounds.
