Dill is a beneficial ingredient for the entire gastrointestinal tract. Its main components are Carvone and Limonene [1]. This oil is excellent for those who suffer from digestive problems or are subject to colic. Its diuretic effects make it a valid remedy for those suffering from water retention. The microencapsulated dill oil is able to stimulate bile and gastric juices, improving intestinal peristalsis. It also has purifying, calming and antioxidant effects [2].
