Dill is an excellent remedy for flatulence and the colic
that is sometimes associated with it. It is the herb of choice
for colic of children. Chewing the seeds will help clear bad
breath.
Dill tea, made with water or white wine, is a popular remedy
for upset stomach. Dill also helps stimulate appetite, and
a decoction of the seed may be helpful for insomnia as well
as for pains due to flatulence. Nursing mothers can use dill
to promote the flow of milk, particularly in combination with
anise, coriander, fennel, and caraway.
