Anethum Graveolens - Tumblr Posts

Dill

the latin name of dill is anethum graveolens (and yes I did copy and paste that)

planet: mercury

element: fire

magical properties/powers: love, lust, protection and luck

dill stimulates lust if eaten or smelled, so consider giving your lover some dill pickles–I’m sure they’ll appreciate it (as long as they like pickles, of course :) dill, if placed in the cradle, will protect your kid + it is often used in love and protection charms, as it is good at keeping dark forces at bay

medicinal uses: dill seeds/fruits have been used to treat stomach ailments, hiccups, bad breath and flatulence

it's particularly useful for gas-relieving and similar stomach related issues!
