Dill, chives and onions keep you healthy against evil spirits
Long ago, people believed that dill could defend against any illness that evil spirits might bring upon your household. People often used it in charms and spells as added protection. These days, dill might have magical healing powers but in a different way. It is one of the main ingredients in Jewish chicken soup.
People thought similarly about chives and onions and how they might protect you from evil spirits. For instance, during medieval times, Europeans would hang chives in their homes to protect themselves from evil spirits. Similarly, in ancient Egypt, mourners would place onions around a loved one’s tomb to ensure safe passage to the afterlife.
