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 Babys Gripe Water, used
for colic and flatulence, the herb or seed is also popularly used to make Dill
Vinegar.
