Dill Seed Essential Oil

Originally from South West Asia, it is a biennial herb that can grow up to 1 meter or 3 feet. It carries green feathery leaves and umbels of small yellow flowers that are followed by tiny compressed seeds. It derives its botanical name Greeks and Romans, who called it “Anethon. Its common names come from the Anglo-Saxon ‘dylle’ or ‘dylla’, which later changed to dill. The meaning of the word is ‘to lull’ – referring to its soothing properties. The Eucalyptus oil is actually extracted from the fresh or partially dried leaves and young twigs of the flower.
