HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Dill by doTERRA
Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.
What’s inside
Full disclosure
This product contains one active ingredient: dill, a culinary herb also used medicinally. Dill has been studied for several uses, including aging skin, high cholesterol (hyperlipidemia), labor pain, and menstrual cramping, though the evidence for these isn't strong enough to rate yet.
Does it work?
Couldn't assess
The evidence we hold doesn't establish that dill is effective for aging skin, high cholesterol, labor pain, or menstrual cramping — the data rates these uses as insufficient evidence to rate. If you're considering dill for one of these purposes, talk with your pharmacist or doctor about what the current research actually supports.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Dill used in food amounts is generally well tolerated. However, this is a concentrated liquid supplement, not a food amount — the safety of medicinal doses hasn't been thoroughly studied.
Some people are allergic to dill; reactions can range from mild (itching, rash) to severe (anaphylaxis with vomiting and diarrhea). If applied to skin, dill can cause contact dermatitis or a sun-sensitive reaction (photodermatosis) if you're exposed to sun afterward.
Avoid it unless your doctor approves medicinal use.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Before you start, double-check any antidiabetes drugs — dill may lower blood sugar further. Also check if you take lithium, since dill could raise its levels in your body.
Altogether, these interactions span 86 individual medications.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
Dill is generally well tolerated at food amounts, but this liquid is a concentrated supplement. If you take diabetes or lithium medications, check with your pharmacist first — dill can affect how these work.
If you have any dill allergy, skip it entirely.

Dill monograph & interactionsDill by doTERRA Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Dill by doTERRA can interact with certain medications you might be taking.
The most serious concern is with antidiabetes drugs like glimepiride (Amaryl) and glyburide (DiaBeta, Glynase) — dill extract may lower blood sugar on its own, and combined with these medications, it could push your blood sugar too low (hypoglycemia). If you take any diabetes medication, you'll need to monitor your blood glucose closely, and your dose might need adjusting.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
Dill also has potential diuretic properties that could affect lithium levels. If you're on lithium for mood disorders, dill might increase how much lithium your body holds onto, which could require a dose adjustment.
Additionally, dill was checked against a large group of medications, and these are the interactions we have data for. Run your exact prescriptions through the search tool on this page to be sure.

Dill
Antidiabetes Drugs
Theoretically, dill extract might have additive effects with antidiabetes drugs and increase the risk of hypoglycemia. Animal research shows that dill extract can reduce blood sugar levels. Monitor blood glucose levels closely. Dose adjustments might be necessary.
Some antidiabetes drugs include glimepiride (Amaryl), glyburide (DiaBeta, Glynase PresTab, Micronase), insulin, pioglitazone (Actos), rosiglitazone (Avandia), and others.
Lithium
Dill is thought to have diuretic properties. Theoretically, due to these potential diuretic effects, dill might reduce excretion and increase levels of lithium. The dose of lithium might need to be decreased.
