Refreshing and rejuvenating, dill is an herb well loved for its ability to increase enthusiasm. Dill's aromatic quality gives it a clearing and opening nature. As a diaphoretic, it dilates blood vessels, pushing heat to the skin. Dill is also a powerful diuretic that disperses fluids and relieves swelling. It is a useful spring tonic for anabolic (Kapha) individuals.
Dill, Respiratory Tract, & Fevers
Dill opens and clears the sinus passages and, as an expectorant, it liquefies mucus with its spicy warmth. It also warms the head, ears, and chest.
As a diaphoretic, dill increases sweating and is a useful addition to home spa treatments. It is used in combination with cedar for poultices and sweat therapy in Ayurveda. Dill was traditionally used to "sweat out" a fever.
Paradoxically, one may feel a cool sensation after eating dill due to rapid heat loss from the surface of the skin.
Dill in the Nervous System
Dill feels light in the mind and relieves tension. It has a stimulating effect on the parietal lobe which is located at the crown of the head. However, its stimulating qualities can be too much for some people. Those with a catabolic (Vata) nature will find dill overstimulating, and its aromatic qualities can make one feel spaced out, scattered, and ungrounded. Dill is an analgesic herb, meaning it acts as a pain reliever.
Dill & Digestion
Dill is a powerful digestive and appetizer for anyone with cold type indigestion. It increases hunger, appetite, and stimulates digestive strength (agni). Its aromatic quality make it a useful antispasmodic for colic in infants.
Dill may be too hot and stimulating for metabolic (Pitta) individuals, leading to churning in the digestive tract and acid reflux. Although dill is heating, its bitter taste tempers the heat. The bitterness of dill makes it useful as a blood and liver cleanser.
Dill's drying qualities may be constipating for some. If the hot qualities of dill prevail, stools may be darker in color and a looser consistency.
About Dill
Dill seems to lighten the palate. It packs the taste of freshness with a little kick. Its Ayurvedic name, shatapushpa (100 flowers) points to the shape of the flower, an umbel like Queen Anne's Lace. Dill is a member of the carrot family (apiaceae) along with parsley, celery, cumin, coriander, asafoetida, ajwain, caraway, and fennel. This family is known for its hot, aromatic, and bitter spices, popular across the world.
Cooking Dill
Dill's aromatic, pungent, and bitter qualities mean it pairs excellently with heavy foods including rich soups, potatoes, cream, butter, or egg based sauces like hollandaise. Dill has a hint of sweetness which has made it popular in french desserts. The tips are more astringent and rough, while the stalk may be more sour.

AYURVEDA'S GUIDE TO VITALITY & WHOLESOME NOURISHMENT
Your Ayurvedic diet is tailored to your individual body and your specific imbalances.
With an Ayurvedic diet you feel joy and satisfaction because what you are eating truly nourishes and balances you.
Disease results from diets and lifestyles that are incompatible with your nature.
By eating a personalized diet matched to your body, you experience optimal health.
See How it Works.
Ayurveda assesses metabolic imbalances through 20 main biocharacteristics
(gunas).
Aggravating them weakens your body and causes imbalance.
By knowing which biocharacteristics are habitually imbalanced in your body, you will be able to identify and correct metabolic imbalances before you get sick.
Every biocharacteristic has an opposite which balances it (i.e. hot balances cold).
You restore balance by favoring diet and lifestyle choices that increase the opposite biocharacteristic.
Taste is used to sense the most basic properties and effects of food.
Each taste has a specific medicinal effect on your body.
Cravings for food with certain tastes indicate your body is craving specific medicinal results from food.
Taste is experienced on the tongue and represents your body's reaction to foods.
Sweet taste causes physical satisfaction and attraction whereas bitter taste causes discomfort and aversion.
Kapha should use less sweet taste while Vata and Pitta would benefit from using more sweet taste.
One of the first signs of illness is that your taste and appetite for food changes.
The six tastes are sweet, sour, salty, pungent, bitter, and astringent.
Do you crave foods with any of the tastes below?
Ayurveda is a metabolic theory of medicine that explains individual health, tendencies, and disease patterns through the concept of doshas, which can be understood as your metabolic patterns and tendencies.
Each dosha reflects a distinct metabolic nature and describes strengths & weaknesses in bodily function, and how these affect energy levels, digestion, susceptibility to disease, and many other tendencies.
Your metabolic nature not only affects your physical characteristics, but also influences your mental thought patterns, confidence, and enthusiasm.
Ayurveda balances these metabolic strengths & weaknesses to support your body's vitality and prevent recurrent disease cycles. This support is a critical aid, especially in chronic or incurable disease conditions.
The 3 metabolic body types
(doshas),
are Catabolic (Vata), Metabolic (Pitta), and Anabolic (Kapha).
Through dosha, Ayurveda empowers people to identify metabolic imbalances early, break repetitive patterns of disease, and cultivate habits that support long-term vitality and well-being.
Ultimately, these metabolic patterns also provide a framework for understanding yourself, including body, mind, and spiritual tendencies.
Ayurveda & Greek Medicine were the dominant form of medicine along the Silk Road from England to China and South Asia.
They work by assessing your metabolic type, patterns, and nature.
Greek medicine recognizes 4 metabolic temperaments, Melancholic, Choleric, Sanguine, and Phlegmatic.
Cold and dry with a slow, variable or erratic metabolism. Colicky, tense. Withdrawn, pensive, anxious, and hesitant. Analytical, intelligent, detail oriented and creative. Prone to ojas depletion, dehydration, an overactive nervous system, and depression.
A Phlegmatic has a cold and wet metabolic nature. The coldness implies a slow metabolism, the moisture that you are well-nourished. Phlegmatics tend towards sluggishness and thickened fluids, including mucus.
Has a hot and dry metabolic nature. Enthusiastic, vibrant and bright. In excess burns up fluids and ojas, irritable. Corresponds to high bilirubin in the blood that irritates and heats up the body and liver.
A hot and oily nature with a moderate metabolism and a well nourished body makes Sanguine individuals vigorous, vivacious, outgoing and generous, and prone to impulsivity and self indulgence. Bullish and intense when out of balance.
Herbs or spices with volatile essential oils that present strong aromas. Aromatic oils shock, refresh and numb tissue, with the end result of relaxing, opening and clearing stagnant fluids in tissues.
Experiences vary according to the person and constitution. Individual results may vary.
The list of herbal-actions below has not be approved by the FDA and should not be used to treat a medical condition.
Stimulates the release of gas. Helpful for bloating or cramping abdominal pain. Propels food downward. Carminatives typically expel gas by relaxing the muscles of the intestines.
An herb that strengthens spleen function by improving strength of the blood. Spleen tonics Builds agni, brighten the person's appearances & firms up tissues.
An herb that increases appetite or settles a nauseas or nervous stomach. These generally increase the digestive fire, therefore relieving symptoms of sluggish or difficult digestion.
Expectorants help you eliminate mucus from the lungs. These herbs often work by increasing the quantity of mucus, or thinning the mucus. Expectorants are indicated when phlegm congests the lower respiratory tract.
An agent that kills microorganisms or inhibits their growth. Antimicrobial is an umbrella term that can be broken down into specific categories of target microorganism, such as anti-bacterials, fungals, and virals.
STRONG VASODILATOR
A vasodilator is an herb that widens the blood vessels by the relaxation of smooth muscle cells within the vessel walls, thereby increasing circulation systemically or to a local area.
Herbs that promote urine formation, thereby flushing the kidneys and urinary tract while eliminating any excess water retention. As diuretics reduce water retention, they are often used to reduce blood pressure.

Eating Ayurvedically makes you feel nourished and energized. Food digests with ease when
right for your body type (dosha). Healthy digestion is seen as the cornerstone of well-being in
Ayurveda. Healthy digestion generally prevents illness. If you do get sick, a strong digestive fire
reduces the severity of illness and increases your resilience. It also improves your mood. Once
you begin eating Ayurvedically, you will feel refreshed, vital and strong.
