Dill

The use of Dill as an effective digestive remedy goes back at least 5,000 years and the Greek herbalist Dioscorides recommended it to stop attacks of hiccoughs - and even today remedies for hiccups include chewing dill seeds, or making a decoction of the seeds and sipping it slowly.

Probably best known nowadays as the key herb in Baby’s Gripe Water, used for colic and flatulence, the herb or seed is also popularly used to make Dill Vinegar.
