“The joy of creation is encapsulated in dill, and the taking in of spiritual nourishment form the heavens… With purity and optimism, dill shows a clear way to complete the tasks we undertake on our journey.” ~ Valerie Ann Worwood, Aromatherapy for the Soul
“The physician Galen commented that ‘dill procureth sleep, wherefore garlands of dill are worn at feasts’ (Gordon 1980: 69). The modern name comes from the Old Norse word dllla, which means “to lull” – alluding to its reputation for soothing…” ~ Jennifer Peace Rhind, Fragrance and Wellbeing
