Yarrow (Achillea millefolum)

In both herbal and essential oil form is not as commonly known and used as it deserves to be! This is one of the truly great healing oils!! Applied topically to a cut, even a deep one, it will pull the edges together and help the cut to heal almost miraculously. Yarrow was considered sacred by the Chinese, who recognized the resonance of Yin and Yang energies which it produces. They claim that the fragrance alone makes possible the meeting of heaven and earth and balances highs and lows both externally and internally and physically and mentally. There have been many amazing experiences with both the herb and the essential oil over a long period of years with both people and animals. Mild enough to use with children. Is almost magical in the way that it pulls the skin and muscle of a wound together and prevents infection to the site. Yarrow can also be used for acne, amenorrhea, dysmenorrhea, stimulating the appetite, bladder or kidney weakness, colds, catarrh, digestion, eczema, fevers, gallbladder inflammation, gout, headaches, hypertension, kidney stones, pelvic infections, sprains, flue, sunburn, ulcers, urinary infections, varicose veins, and wounds.
