Achillea millefolium

Yarrow
Asteraceae

Common Names - Yarrow, Millefoil, Plumajillo, Old Man's Pepper, Soldiers Woundwort, Knight's Milfoil, Herbe Militaris, Thousand Weed, Nose Bleed, Carpenter's Weed, Bloodwort, Staunchweed, Sanguinary, Devil's Nettle, Devil's Plaything, Bad Man's Plaything, Yarroway

Alternate Scientific Names - Achillea lanulosa

Description - A perennial plant that forms large mats of interconnected roots, and feathery,  bi-pinnate basal leaves.  From May to August, it sends up a flowering stalk topped with umbels of white (sometimes pinkish) flowers. The stem that shoots up is angular, with alternate leaves. The stalk can be from 1 to several feet tall. It grows in many places, especially meadows. 

Parts Used - Whole plant

Collecting - Gather the recently flowered stalks and dry hanging. Once dry, either strip the stalks of the leaves and cut the flowers off and save the stems for the I Ching. If this isn't desired, then combine the upper half of the stems with the leaves and flowers. For the roots, wash them and dry them in bundles or on flats. Leave the plant in big pieces and store in jars because the aromatics dissipate quickly from the over processed herb (I'm not sure about the roots).1 

Constituents - Primarily sabinene, isoartemisin ketone, 1, 8-cineole (eucalyptol), camphor, and bornyl acetate, with a wide range of secondary aromatics that can vary wildly in different chemical races. The main effects of Yarrow aren't altered by these differences. The flowers are highest in aromatics, the foliage higher in tannins, and the roots hold their aromatics in complex resins.2 

Actions - Diaphoretic, hypotensive, astringent, diuretic, antiseptic,3 vulnerary,4 anti-inflammatory, antispasmodic, diuretic, antimicrobial, bitter, hepatic5

Uses - 
	As a diaphoretic, Yarrow is useful with acute fevers, particularly ones that begin a head cold or flu. It opens the pores, purifies the blood, and lowers the fever by both heat loss and directly. It is recommended in the early stages of children's colds, and in measles and other eruptive disorders. For kids that get super hot when the get sick, try a teaspoon of Yarrow, a teaspoon of Chamomile, and a little Anise or Fennel in a hot tea to sip on.6 Another possibility is to combine it with Elder and Peppermint.7
	As an astringent hemostat, Yarrow stops bleeding and helps heal wounds. This can be tried for simple nosebleeds and cuts to internal ulcers and hemorrhoids. It is anti-inflammatory, especially to the skin and mucosa, so it is helpful in the recovery of an intestinal flu or other intestinal irritability. Yarrow is antimicrobial against Shigella and used with Echinacea for this.8 A cold extract stimulates appetite and tones digestive organs.9
	Yarrow tones blood vessels. As a urinary tract antiseptic, it is indicated with infections like cystitis, and should be used fresh for best effect (Moore says take 2 cups a day for  a couple weeks). It is considered specific for thrombotic (?) effects with hypertension, and is thought to lower blood pressure by dilating peripheral blood vessels.10
	Externally, it can be anti-inflammatory as well. A poultice helps reduce muscle and joint pain. A bath is helpful in joint inflammation, rheumatoid arthritis, and other auto-immune or allergic conditions that settle in the joints. Poultices are helpful for varicose veins, especially during pregnancy.11
	Yarrow has history of being used for different menstrual problems. It helps women with long cycles and extended menses by promoting a more regular flow. Conversely, it can be a hemostat for an occasional abnormal flow with a woman who has a more orderly cycle. It can even be a tea for postpartum bleeding.12
It has a reputation to prevent baldness, used as a head wash.13 The root is good to chew on for toothache or gum problems, especially steeped in whiskey or rum.14

Preparations & Dosage - 

Hoffman: 2 to 4 ml  (1:5, 25%)  3X a day. When a patient has a fever, a hot infusion (1-2 tsp/cup) should be drunk hourly. 
	
Moore: Tincture of fresh plant in flower (1:2), recently dried plant in flower (1:5, 50%), 10 to 40 drops  in warm water for both. As a tea, 2-4 fl. oz. up to 4X a day. The root can be stored with a couple of tsp of whiskey poured on top to chew on. 


Contraindications - 
Probably not advisable during pregnancy, and some people have hypersensitivity to aster family plants. OK during lactation. 

Spirit or Flower essence - 
	White Yarrow as a flower essence is good for boundaries, and creates a strong white light of protection around you, helping to filter toxic influences (environmental or emotional). Pink Yarrow is for emotional boundaries, especially in personal relationships.15

Personal Experiences - I have seen and experienced Yarrow stop bleeding from cuts, the leaf juice being squeezed straight into the wound. I have been told it stings pretty bad in a nasty cut. In high school I used Yarrow as a face wash, I don't remember what for, but after a couple of days, I got a rash on my face, so stopped doing it.
