Achillea millefolium
ABOUT:
Often considered to be “first aid in a bottle,” yarrow was commonly used to stop bleeding. In ancient Roman times, yarrow was said to be used to quickly stop bleeding in spear wounds while soldiers were engaged in war.
Yarrow can help to either start bleeding or stop bleeding. When used externally, it can promote wound healing and stop bleeding. Yarrow can kill gram-positive bacteria like Staph.aureus, Bacillus subtillis, Mycobacterium smegmatis, Escherichia coli, Shigella sonnei, and Shigella flexneri. When taken internally, yarrow can be used to encourage the start of a period that is late (that is not delayed due to pregnancy.) Internally, it can help promote healthy blood circulation.
Yarrow is a bitter herb by nature, which can promote healthy digestion when taken half an hour before meals.
Yarrow can be used as an anti-inflammatory supplement to help with pain relief.
When swished in the mouth, yarrow helps with bacteria that can lead to gum disease and bad breath.
ACTIONS:
Anti-inflammatory
Analgesic
Antimicrobial
Astringent
Bitter
Diaphoretic
Stimulant
A NOTE ABOUT OUR STANDARDS — All of our tinctures and elixirs (except for the mushroom elixirs) are made with 100-proof alcohol (grain alcohol and local spring water) and fresh plant material. For elixirs, they are made with 100-proof alcohol, raw honey, and fresh plant material.
We source fresh plants from California, from farmers who practice organic farming or “beyond organic” farming practices. All herbs are made into extracts within 24 hours of being picked, so they are extra potent!
We use fresh plants to preserve both water- and alcohol-soluble constituents that are lost when the plant is dried. Fresh plants make for a more potent extract and preserve the life force of the plant in the season it was meant to produce in.
Tincture = alcohol + herb
Elixir = alcohol + raw honey + herb
