History and Uses:
Dill is a native plant of Europe and Asia and usually grows to about four feet in height.
It has been used for thousands of years and is even mentioned in the Bible. In years gone by, people used it in making charms, which they thought would protect them from witches and evil spirits. Dill Seed is primarily used, as it has been for thousands of years, as a digestive aid and is used in cases of indigestion, diarrhea, colic and flatulence. Dill is often used as a flavoring in foods, especially in sauces, and for making dill pickles. The same chemicals that keep pickles fresh also act as a digestive tonic. From the seeds, which are, in reality, the dried fruits, two things are made: an oil used as a flavoring and a laxative called Dill water. Dill Seed also seems to exhibit some antibacterial qualities. Dill Seed contains flavonoids (including Quercetin), which are believed to have anti-inflammatory properties and volatile oils (including eugenol, limonene,and carvone). One study determined that supplementing with Dill Seed could reduce triglyceride levels, and it has also been investigated for its possible antispasmodic effects. Dill Seed has been used as a remedy for bad breath.
