Traditional uses of Yarrow

Yarrow is traditionally used in herbal medicine for:

  1. Digestive issues: It contains bitter compounds that stimulate digestion, appetite, and bile production. It is used for bloating and intestinal spasms.

  2. Immune System/Common Cold: It is diaphoretic, meaning it promotes sweating, and is therefore often used at the onset of a cold or fever to help lower body temperature and speed up recovery.

  3. Women's health: It is traditionally used for its antispasmodic action (relieving menstrual cramps) and to regulate flow.

  4. Hemostatic: Its name is linked to the legend of Achilles, who used it to stop bleeding from wounds (topical use).
