Yarrow is also known by the names Devil's Nettle, Devil's Plaything, Bad Man's Plaything, Milfoil, Soldier's Woundwort, Carpenter's Weed, Bloodwort, Staunch Weed, Nosebleed, and Thousand Leaf Gandana. Yarrow, a member of the sunflower family, can be found along roadsides, in meadows, and in pastures in Europe, Asia, South Australia and North America. It grows in altitudes as high as 8,500 feet. The part of this plant used for health benefits is the above ground portion, particularly the flowering tops. The genus name Achillea is named after Achilles, the Greek hero, who was taught Herbology by the centaur Chiron, who was said to have used Yarrow to staunch the bleeding of the warrior's wounds during the Trojan war (1200 B.C.). The species name millefolium is Latin for "thousand leaves."
The plant has a long history of use, going back thousands of years. It was once associated with evil, as evidenced by its alternative names Devil's Nettle, Devil's Plaything, and Bad Man's Plaything, and was used in spells. An old and English superstition held that young girls should tickle their noses with Yarrow to see if their lovers were being faithful - if the nose bled, the man's heart was true. In France and Ireland, people wanting to be more clairvoyant hold Yarrow over their eyes. Dried stalks were used to throw the I Ching, an ancient Chinese system for guidance and wisdom. The Druids used Yarrow stems to foretell the weather. When added to a compost pile, it will accelerate its breakdown. When Yarrow is grown in the garden, it helps other plants nearby become more resistant to health problems. This herb was also used to flavor products, and as a snuff. The primary chemical constituents of Yarrow include essential oil (proazulene, borneol, camphor, cineole, eugenol, linalool, pinene, sabinene, thujone), achillein, formic acid, salicylic acid, polyacetylenes, asparagin, sterols, glycoalkaloid (achhilleine), flavonoids (apigenin, luteolin, rutin, quercit in), coumarins, and tannins. Yarrow's effects are mostly astringent.
Yarrow nutritionally supports mucus membranes. It is closely related to Chamomile, both botanically and chemically. Yarrow also contains fairly high amounts of selenium, potassium, vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin E, vitamin F, and vitamin K. Having a variety of effects on the body, Yarrow is known to alleviate inflammation, reduce fevers, help stimulate the appetite, and encourage sweating, thus expelling toxins from the body. Yarrow's astringent properties are especially helpful in stopping nosebleeds, excessive menstruation, and diarrhea. Yarrow is also known for helping support muscle spasms, joint pain, and easing digestion. Yarrow helps to relax peripheral blood vessels, thereby improving circulation. The constituents achilletin and achilleine aid in blood coagulation. Yarrow contains several anti-inflammatory and pain-supporting constituents, such as azulene and salicylic acid.
Yarrow (or soldier's woundwort, milfoil, or nosebleed) affects the bodily systems that includes the lungs and liver. It can be used to help support coughs, coldss and fevers, painful or suppressed menstruation, bleeding, and hemorrhoids. Yarrow exhibits diaphoretic, anti-inflammatory, antipyretic, carminative, hemostatic, astringent, antispasmodic, and stomachic actions on the body. In terms of the biochemical makeup of the herb, essential oil, cineol and proazulene, and achilleine have been identified.
Yarrow can be used to help support a wide variety of common acute complaints. These include supporting the common colds, coughs, fevers, hypertension, painful menstruation and bleeding. It is also applied externally with other herbs such as witch hazel, bayberry and oak bark as a suppository for the potential to help support symptoms of hemorrhoids.
Long associated as an herb for the battlefield (and thus being named after the warrior Achilles), yarrow is considered a specific antihemorrhagic wound supportive. In fact, crushed or powdered yarrow can be applied topically or taken internally for any condition of acute bleeding, especially from cuts and abrasions (as opposed to arnica, which is better for sprains and strains).
Having blood-regulating properties, yarrow is a specific for urogenital problems, especially those associated with women. It may be considered for such complaints as amenorrhea, menorrhagia, and vaginal leucorrhea, all caused by poor pelvic circulation and weakness.
For the first stages of coughs, coldss and fevers combine equal parts elder flowers, yarrow, lemon balm and mint. Steep one ounce of the combination covered in a pint of boiling water until cool enough to drink. Take one or two cups and retire to bed with several covers, lying perfectly still until full sweating occurs. Do not sweat to exhaustion. Conclude with a short, cool-water sponge bath from head to foot, returning to bed immediately.
