Contraindications & cautions

minorDill oils (Anethum graveolens) are commonly listed by aromatherapy safety guidelines as a caution during pregnancy, reflecting the plant's traditional emmenagogue reputation and carvone content (this lot 39.32%); most published cautionary data addresses dill seed oil specifically rather than dill weed/herb oil, so the caution is extended here conservatively pending a dedicated dill weed monograph.

What we're still learning · 2 data gaps

Good decisions start with knowing what is — and isn't — in the evidence.

The public odor-strength source reports dill weed as 'medium' rather than on a native 0-100 scale, so odor_intensity 50 is a normalization to the archive scale.
The public TGSC usage recommendation gives 2.0% in fragrance concentrate; a directly viewable aromatherapy-specific dermal monograph page for American dill weed oil was not located in this pass.
