Dill is a seasoning that can be found in almost every kitchen, but it has another interesting use - dill is also a powerful amulet. UAportal has found out more.

According to ancient beliefs and traditions, dill can be used as a talisman that protects against negative influences and attracts happiness to the house. For greater effectiveness, it is recommended to collect a small bouquet of dill and hang it above the front door or on the kitchen windows.

In this way, the amulet acts as a barrier, preventing envious people or ill-wishers from entering your space. In addition, from a practical point of view, the aromatic properties of dill also serve as a natural insect repellent.

In addition to its protective properties, dill offers numerous health benefits. People with gastrointestinal problems, as well as those seeking to stimulate their cardiovascular system, should eat more of it.

In addition, dill helps with conjunctivitis, diabetes, and diseases associated with excess salt. However, it is important to be careful, as people with low blood pressure or hypersensitivity to dill should eat it with caution.
