Yarrow Leaf (Achillea millefolium) - 1 oz. Dried

Description

Yarrow has been studied in depth for years; it’s one of the few herbs that have at least minor activity on nearly every organ in the body.  It was commonly used by Native American tribes and armies worldwide for bleeding, wounds, and infections. It is used in Ayurvedic traditions; traditional Chinese medicine credits yarrow with the ability to affect the spleen, liver, kidney, and bladder meridians, or energy channels, in the body. It is also used for gastrointestinal conditions; it induces sweating and helps lower a fever. Its mild sedative properties make it useful for insomnia, cramps and menstrual pain. In the digestive tract, yarrow stimulates appetite, enhances digestion and absorption; its astringent properties curb diarrhea and dysentery, and stem bleeding from the lining of the gut. The antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties treat infections and inflamed conditions such as gastritis and enteritis, the bitters stimulate liver function, while its antispasmodics relax tensioning cramp, bloating due to gas, colic and nervous dyspepsia.
This package contains only large sections of Yarrow leaves; no flowers or chopped up stems - hand harvested and air dried in low-light conditions to maintain high color.
