Welcome to Herb Notes. I'm Tara Ruth from LearningHerbs. One of the questions we get a lot at Learning herbs is what is Yarrow used for? So let's break it down together.
Yarrow's Latin name is Achillesia milifolium, and its common names of wound war and nosebleed plant give us a few more hints about Yarrow's gifts. Yarrows bright white flowers, and those feathery leaves have a knack for healing wounds, and then also stopping bleeding. We can also rely on Yarrow for lowering fevers. Sipping a hot cup of Yarrow tea brings on perspiration, which encourages the body to cool down and break the fever.
And beyond first aid, yarrow has a reputation for strengthening the cardiovascular system. You can call in yarrow for varicose veins, spider veins, and poor circulation to tonify and bring balance to the vasculature.
So to recap, here are three ways that you can use yarrow. One, you can apply yarrow tincture or Yarrow compress topically to stop bleeding in minor first aid situations.
Two, you can brew a hot cup of delicious yarrow tea to lower a fever. It'll be a little bitter, but it'll taste pretty good, I think. And then three, you can take yarrow tincture or t internally to strengthen the cardiovascular system. And so right now, you might be asking yourself, you know, where can I find Yarrow?
And one of the reasons we get asked about yarrow so often is because it's a pretty prolific plant. Yarrow is easy to grow, and you might even find it sprouting up in overgrown lawns and along pathways. And we tend to recommend using the white Yarrow rather than more cultivated pink and yellow yarrow, which are often not as medicinal. And if you wanna learn more about yarrow's health benefits, you can visit us at herb notes dot cards to grab a free deck of our top twelve herb notes.
