PRECAUTIONS:-

Dill essential oil is non-toxic and non-irritant. However, as with anything, there could be possible sensitization in some individuals (Tisserand and Young 2015). Please discontinue using it if you notice any skin irritation. Avoid direct contact with the eyes and sensitive areas. Always seek professional advice from a qualified aromatherapist or physician if you are pregnant or lactating before using aromatherapy home treatments. Dill’s sedative effects may be stronger for some than others, so don’t use it before or whilst driving or operating machinery or doing any hazardous activity.
