Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 2

Dill (Anethum graveolens) has a longstanding history of use in traditional medicine systems, particularly in Ayurveda and various European folk remedies, for alleviating digestive complaints such as nausea and vomiting. The seeds and leaves of dill have been utilized to prepare teas and infusions intended to soothe the stomach and mitigate symptoms of indigestion, which often includes nausea. Historical texts and ethnobotanical surveys reference dill as a carminative and digestive aid, attributing its efficacy to its volatile oils, primarily carvone and limonene, which impart its distinctive aroma and flavor.

Despite this traditional usage, there is a paucity of high-quality clinical trials or robust scientific studies that directly evaluate dill’s effectiveness for treating nausea and vomiting in humans. Most modern research on dill has focused on its antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties, rather than its antiemetic effects. The few animal studies and in vitro experiments available do not provide conclusive evidence supporting its use for this specific purpose. As such, while dill's use for nausea and vomiting is well-documented in historical and traditional sources, scientific validation remains limited. The overall evidence rating for its efficacy in this context is therefore low.
