Yarrow

Achillea millefolium

The yarrow is known for its quality of stopping bleeding – also internal bleeding. Wounds, women’s troubles, stomach pain, acne and liver and gall bladder troubles have also been treated with the yarrow. Yarrow tea lowers fever, loosens mucus and helps to fight a cold.

The yarrow has an upright stem covered by soft hair. It is very common throughout the Nordic countries, thriving typically in meadows and on banks. The yarrow is a real cure-all, and its numerous other names – for example, nosebleed plant, old man’s pepper, soldier’s woundwort – are a sign of the fact that it has been widely used.

A word of warning: The plant should not be used by people who are allergic or pregnant!
