Dill, also known as Sowa, is an aromatic herb which is used as a spice and flavouring agent in various food preparations. It is also used in Ayurveda for various medicinal purposes since ancient times.
According to Ayurveda, Dill is useful for digestion due to its Deepan (appetizer) and Pachan (digestion) properties. It also helps to improve appetite by enhancing the Agni (digestive fire) of the body due to its Ushna (hot) nature. It is used as a potent household remedy to get relief from stomachache and gas due to its carminative property. It helps in managing blood sugar levels by protecting the pancreatic cells due to its antioxidant properties.
Dill is useful for kidney problems as it increases urine production due to its diuretic property. It also protects the kidney cells against damage caused by free radicals due to its antioxidant properties.
Dill oil might help promote wound healing due to its antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties. Applying Dill oil along with lemon juice and coconut oil might also help in managing spasms.
It should be kept in mind that Dill might cause allergic reactions in people who are allergic to plants in the carrot family like asafoetida, caraway, celery, coriander, fennel etc., so it is advisable to consult a physician before using Dill.
