For 20 years I have been treating spring allergies with a decoction of dill seeds, drinking 1 glass in the morning and evening. I start drinking 2 weeks before the onset of allergies. Allergy in this period does not even begin.

I was tormented by seizures - I couldn’t go to the toilet for anything small or big from pain. Though climb the wall. Doctors could not help. At the beginning of one of the attacks I saw dill seeds on the table. Grind 4 teaspoons with a slide in a coffee grinder, put it in a liter jar and poured boiling water. He waited until it cools a little and drank with the seeds together. And the attack has passed. I still brewed and drank. In the morning I went to the toilet for a little - a dark brown liquid came out of me. For 15 years now, no attacks, no pain. I am satisfied.
