Anethum graveolens: An Indian traditional medicinal herb and spice
Open accessAbstract
Anethum graveolens L. (dill) has been used in ayurvedic medicines since ancient times and it is a popular herb widely used as a spice and also yields essential oil. It is an aromatic and annual herb of apiaceae family. The Ayurvedic uses of dill seeds are carminative, stomachic and diuretic. There are various volatile components of dill seeds and herb; carvone being the predominant odorant of dill seed and α-phellandrene, limonene, dill ether, myristicin are the most important odorants of dill herb. Other compounds isolated from seeds are coumarins, flavonoids, phenolic acids and steroids. The main purpose of this review is to understand the significance of Anethum graveolens in ayurvedic medicines and non-medicinal purposes and emphasis can also be given to the enhancement of secondary metabolites of this medicinal plant.
Overview
CoChat Summary
TL;DR
This narrative review summarizes the traditional Ayurvedic, culinary, and industrial uses of *Anethum graveolens* L. (dill) alongside its phytochemistry and reported pharmacological activities. It argues that the plant's monoterpenes—particularly carvone and limonene—are commercially valuable and that in vitro tissue culture could enhance their production.
Key findings
- Dill is used in more than 56 Ayurvedic preparations (e.g., Dasmoolarishtam, Dhanwanthararishtam, Saraswatharishtam) and is described in Ayurveda as carminative, stomachic, and diuretic, with uses for colic, abdominal discomfort, and digestion.
- Seventeen volatile compounds have been identified in the plant; dill oil is described as containing 40–60% d-carvone (listed as 23.1%) with d-limonene (45%), plus α-phellandrene, eugenol, anethole, flavonoids, coumarins, triterpenes, and phenolic acids. The fruit yields about 3.5% oil, with specific gravity 0.895–0.915.
- Reported pharmacological effects include antimicrobial activity against *S. aureus*, *E. coli*, *P. aeruginosa*, *S. typhimurium*, *Shigella flexneri*, and *Salmonella typhii*; mucosal protective, antisecretory, and anti-ulcer activity against HCl- and ethanol-induced lesions in mice; antispasmodic relaxant effects on rat ileum; and antihyperlipidemic/antioxidant effects in rats fed a high-fat diet.
- The review notes commercial demand: a survey of four West European countries estimated overall demand for freeze-dried herb at less than 300 tonnes per annum, and anethole at 60 minims is described as a fairly potent vermicide for hookworm.
Methods
- Narrative literature review; no primary experimental data are reported by the authors.
- Synthesizes Ayurvedic, Unani, botanical, ecological, phytochemical, and pharmacological literature, including cited in vitro and in vivo animal studies (mice, rats) and chemical analyses.
- Includes a phytochemical screening table for seeds, leaves, and roots (tannins, terpenoids, cardiac glycosides, flavonoids) and a table of important compounds, plus a described enzymatic pathway for limonene and carvone synthesis from geranyl diphosphate.
Limitations
- The paper states no formal limitations section; it acknowledges that "very less in vitro research has been performed on this potential plant species" and that several physiological and biochemical parameters remain unknown.
- Evident from the text: this is a non-systematic narrative review with no stated search strategy, inclusion criteria, or quality appraisal, and it reports no original data or quantitative synthesis.
- Evident from the text: many efficacy claims are attributed to cited studies without reporting doses, sample sizes, or effect sizes, and several traditional-use claims (e.g., curing urinary complaints, piles, and mental disorders) are presented without supporting experimental evidence.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-11-12, under version 3 of the claim definition (model deepseek-v4.1-flash, prompt extract-v3).
A second model labelled each claim on 2026-11-12 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
