HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Dill Flower Essence by Flower Essence Services

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.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

What’s inside

Low disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Low

Most active ingredients don't disclose an individual amount — you can't tell how much of each you're getting.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 0 of its 1 active ingredient.

This product contains one active ingredient: an infusion (a water-based steep) of dill flowers at a 1:6000 dilution ratio. The other ingredients — water and brandy — are inactive carriers used to preserve and deliver the dill extract.

Does it work?

Couldn't assess
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed
Not assessable

This is a single-ingredient Dill product and its label doesn't state a use — see Dill's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.

The evidence for dill flower essence isn't established for the purposes we have on file. Our data shows insufficient reliable evidence to rate its use for aging skin, high cholesterol (hyperlipidemia), labor pain, or period pain (dysmenorrhea).

That doesn't mean it doesn't work — it means rigorous clinical trials backing these uses aren't available in our data.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Dill

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 1 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Dill is generally well tolerated in food amounts. As a medicinal supplement, dill appears to be well tolerated overall, though a thorough safety evaluation hasn't been completed.

A small number of people are allergic to dill; allergic reactions can range from mild (itching, rash, swelling around the eyes, chapped lips) to severe (anaphylaxis, vomiting, and diarrhea). If applied to skin, dill juice from fresh plants can cause a light-sensitive skin reaction (photodermatosis), and contact with the plant or extract may cause contact dermatitis.

Because this product is a concentrated supplement rather than food, and because safety at medicinal doses isn't well studied, talk with your doctor before use.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Dill

Meds to double-check

Moderate interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Moderate identified

The most serious documented interaction for these ingredients is Moderate. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Dill.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: diabetes medications; lithium.
  • For scale: 87 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

Check your medications if you take antidiabetes drugs (risk of low blood sugar) or lithium (risk of elevated levels). Both require Moderate caution and possible dose adjustment.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with no assessable stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

This product is best suited for people without diabetes, not taking lithium, and without a known dill allergy. If you take antidiabetes drugs or lithium, or are pregnant or breastfeeding, check with your pharmacist first.

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.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
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.

Dill Flower Essence by Flower Essence Services: Common Questions

Does Dill Flower Essence by Flower Essence Services interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Dill Flower Essence has a known interaction with 87 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Dill Flower Essence contains a single active ingredient, and that one ingredient can interact with many different medications on its own. We check it against each medication and show the mechanism responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
Can I take this if I have diabetes?
Not without talking to your pharmacist or doctor first. Dill can lower blood sugar, so if you're on diabetes medication, adding this could make your blood sugar drop too low. Your dose might need adjustment, and you'd need close monitoring.
What's the difference between dill food and this supplement?
This is a concentrated infusion, much stronger than the dill you'd sprinkle on dinner. Food amounts of dill are considered safe, but medicinal doses haven't been thoroughly studied for safety, so the caution level is higher.
Am I allergic to dill if I'm allergic to fennel or carrots?
That's a good question for your pharmacist or allergist. Dill, fennel, and carrot are botanically related, so cross-reactivity is possible — but it's not automatic. Don't assume either way without asking.
Can I use this on my skin?
The safety data cautions against topical use of dill juice or the plant itself because it can cause light-sensitive skin reactions or contact dermatitis. A diluted liquid supplement on skin isn't the same as fresh plant juice, but check with your pharmacist first to be safe.
Does this actually work for what it's marketed for?
The evidence isn't there yet. We have insufficient data to rate dill for aging skin, high cholesterol, labor pain, or period pain. That doesn't mean it's useless — it means rigorous trials haven't backed it up in our records.
