Moving into this month, we start to see more sunshine along with
the usual April showers. The trees are blossoming, bulbs are growing,
the wind starts to pick up and as it does so, seeds are blown about,
spreading life from one place to the next.
To celebrate this beautiful, fresh month, try using some dill oil
(amethum graveolens). This essential oil is not often used, but it is a
lovely oil with a grassy aroma made from the oil-rich seeds of the dill
plant. This makes it an ideal oil to use this month.
The word ‘dill’ comes from the Norse word ‘dylla’ meaning to
soothe or lull and perfectly describes this much underused oil. It’s a
wonderfully healing essential oil and helps calm and soothe nerves
and bring harmony to all those around it. Try placing a couple of
drops in a difuser this month and let the dill oil soothe and calm
both body and mind.
As dill oil is so good at bringing a sense of peace, it makes the
perfect bedtime oil. Mix ive drops of dill oil in some milk and add to
the bath for a relaxing treat before bed and to ensure a restful sleep.
Dill oil also works on a deeper level, enriching meditations: put
a couple of drops in a difuser before meditation and let the dill oil
take you to a place of tranquil serenity.
Use in small doses as can cause skin irritation. Avoid if pregnant
or you have epilepsy.
