Dill Materia Medica

Dill has been used since ancient times, being described as long as 5,000 years ago by the Egyptians who used it in combination with coriander and bryony to ease headaches.

Dill was also used by the ancients as a charm against witches and the evil eye. The mystics felt one could protect oneself against magic spells by keeping a bag of dried dill suspended over the heart. It was also once a common ingredient of love potions. On a spiritual level, dill is said to open the crown chakra, free the mind from restrictive
thought patterns and promote receptivity to a higher reality.
