Calm inflammation, anti-aging, reduces appearance of fine lines
What is it?
Native to India, dill has feathery leaves and grows shorter than fennel. Its small yellow flowers yield seeds that are steam distilled to produce dill essential oil. Dill oil owes its calming, sleep-promoting effects mainly to its high concentration of carvone, which helps regulate stress and anxiety hormones. Dill also aids digestion, according to Ayurvedic medicine, by stimulating appetite and digestive enzymes. The oil’s collagen-boosting properties may minimize wrinkles and brighten dull skin.
