Dill (anethum graveolens). It was prescribed in the 9th century Anglo-Saxon herbal ‘Bald’s Leechbook’, possibly made as part of King Alfred the Great’s educational reforms, for a wide range of ailments, including headaches, jaundice, liver problems, and especially stomach upsets. The author made an effort to draw on classical Greek medicine as well as English lore. In 2015, a remedy from the Leechbook was put to laboratory test as a possible remedy against MRSA. See New Scientist (March 2015).
