Much of what is on this page is inaccurate or muddled. There are 2 distinct oils produced from dill - dill weed (from leaves) and dill seed. They have very different components, and different uses. The dill seed oil has a much higher concentration of carvone, hence more potent for eg digestive problems, but requiring more caution. It was dill seed that was used by pharmacists to produce Dill Water, which was sold as gripe water. There were exact recipes in eg the British Pharmaceutical Codex which specified dill seed. Encouraging preparation of home remedies using dill weed is of questionable ethic. There is a perfectly good page about excessive sweating under "hyperhidrosis".

Recommended sources

I'd suggest (and might do, if I have time) a rewrite, based on the following sources:

Flavor ingredients (fifth ed.). CRC Press. 2005. pp. 447–450. ISBN 0849330343. {{cite book}}: Unknown parameter |authors= ignored (help)
Chemical dictionary of economic plants. John Wiley and Sons. 2001. p. 371. ISBN 0471492264. {{cite book}}: Unknown parameter |authors= ignored (help)

It turns out that "dill oil" refers to two different oils. See the sources for specifics. Waitak (talk) 15:42, 14 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Providing medical advice

If the article is to provide medical advice it must have good references and from reliable sources not just folklore. How do we know that the oil works or, in the worst case, isn't poisonous? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 156.22.9.252 (talk) 01:19, 11 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
