Nagarmotha (Cyperus Rotundus)

Nagarmotha contains pinenes and cineole. It is a neutral waxy
substance and is used as a hair wash and treating hair and scalp
disorders. It dilates the small capillary and acts on the sebaceous
glands at the hair root and stimulates them. It has been in use for
centuries for anointing body. It is also widely used for skincare,
loose motions, excessive thirst and for reducing swellings.

VALERIE HOFFMAN HERBALIST: Dill (Anethum graveolens)

Description

Dill, a popular annual, has bluish-green stems that contrast with
finely divided, yellow-green, plume-like leaves and yellowish flowers.
Dill grows about 2 to 3 feet high.

Culture

Dill is easily grown from seed sown in the garden in spring after
all danger of frost has passed. Sow the seed where you want it to grow
as it is difficult to transplant. Stake tall plants.

Harvesting

For best results, pick leaves just as flowers open. Pick seeds when they are flat and brown.

Use

Both the leaves and seeds of dill are popular for flavoring
pickles, sauerkraut, and beet dishes. It can be combined with garlic
and pepper to produce a highly flavored Mediterranean or East European
pork roast (often cooked over a spit outdoors). The seeds yield a
fragrant oil.
