Dill Seed (Dillapiole)

Dill (Anethum graveolens) essential oil contains a considerable proportion of the non-toxic and important ketone, (d)-carvone, that makes this oil such a strong mucolytic agent, but it also shows considerable antimicrobial, antifungal, and antioxidant activity. It also contains dillapiole, which has anti-inflammatory and anticancer effects.
