Organic Yarrow, Achillea millefolium, Sustainable Canadian Farm Grown Medicine

Yarrow is an antihemorrhagic and got its name, achillea, from the Romans. They gave it this name as they said that Achilles required his soldiers to carry this herb at all times. Yarrow is high in salicylic acid and is an anti-inflammatory.

Yarrow is also said to help treat the common cold, flu, fevers, hypertension and painful menstruation and bleeding.
The herb is closely associated with divination. In China, yarrow stalks are used in consulting the I Ching (Book of Changes).

A great way to take yarrow in a herbal infusion to relieve cold and flu symptoms is to mix it with elderflowers, rose hips, peppermint and honey.
