The plant, its legends and its botany
Dill is an umbelliferous (botanical family of carrot, fennel, cumin, etc.) which worships sun. Besides, its flowers (and character!) are of the same color as this star. Its foliage is all about air and movement, lace and lightness. Stroking this plant is like being caressed by the most delicate hands. The plant showing so much lightness in its leaves (which easily break) compared to its powerful essential oil, it echoes particularly well with those who are fragile without necessarily admitting it.
It is commonly accepted that dill takes care of oneself after deep fatigue. But it is also interesting to know that we are probably not the first ones to realise it. Dill, derived from former Anglo-Saxon "dylle", coming from the Norwegian word "dilla" which means "to rock." Charlemagne already gave it to his guests after banquets to calm them down when they had drunk too much. Long
before that, a full description of the plant was found in the Ebers Papyrus
dating 1,500 years BC, in Amenothep II's tomb. The country of
pharaohs had then been using it medicinally for 5,000 years already. Last but not least, dill remains were also found in Neolithic lake villages in Switzerland.
