Dill (Anethum graveolens) is an annual aromatic plant of the Umbelliferae family and native to the Middle East.

It has a characteristic appearance and smell similar to fennel and anise, but with a more aromatic and pungent flavor.

From this plant, and in particular from its seeds, the essential oil of dill (Anethum Graveolens Seed Oil) can be obtained: it is obtained by steam distillation of the seeds and is presented as a straw yellow liquid.

This oil is known for its active properties on digestion and for its carminative action, in fact at a phytotherapeutic level it is often used to prepare digestive herbal teas.

It can be considered an antiseptic for the intestinal tract, but it is also widely used as a natural remedy for bad breath.

In cosmetics and aromatherapy it is often used as a natural flavoring.
