Yarrow

Yarrow grows in elevation of 11,500 feet and is native to regions in North America, Europe and Asia.

It is planted in many gardens for ornamental purposes and also to combat soil erosion due to its resistance to drought.

It is known as a powerful ‘healing herb’ and used for wounds and cuts. The botanical name ‘Achillea’ is derived from mythical Greek character ‘Achilles’, who carried it with his army to treat wounds during conflict.

Yarrow’s leaves help in clotting and has been used fresh for nosebleeds. Its dark blue essential oil is extracted by steam distillation of its flowers and used as an anti-inflammatory or to treat colds.
