Description
Yarrow (or soldier's woundwort, milfoil, or nosebleed) affects the bodily systems that includes the lungs and liver. It is commonly recommended for colds, flus and fevers, painful or suppressed menses, 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 is used for a wide variety of common acute complaints. These include the treatment of the common cold, flu, 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 treatment 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 remedy. 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 conditions as amenorrhea, menorrhagia, and vaginal leucorrhea, all caused by poor pelvic circulation and weakness.
For the first stages of colds, flus 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.
