Achillea millefolium
Yarrow is known as "ruler of the blood," and is a great remedy for wounds, bruises, sprains, and bleeding, as well as for purifying and moving the blood. It is a cooling herb, rich in volatile oils. Served as a hot tea, yarrow makes a first-rate diaphoretic, helping to bring on a cleansing sweat and to reduce fevers. Some parents bathe their children with yarrow infusion to help break their fevers during colds and flus. Yarrow also boasts antispasmodic properties, which allow it to relieve stomach cramps and uterine tension. Yarrow can stimulate delayed or absent menstrual cycles and can relieve cramps and heavy bleeding. The bitter taste stimulates digestion and helps the body clear mucus from the digestive tract. Yarrow’s anti-inflammatory, tissue-tightening properties make it a good herb for toning the blood vessels. Finally, yarrow makes an effective anti-inflammatory and diuretic in cases of urinary tract infections and cystitis.
*Because of yarrow’s stimulating action on the uterine muscles, it should be avoided during pregnancy*

"If you want to change your life and overall well-being take the first step and visit the Herb Shoppe. They are so knowledgeable in herbs, flower essences, and everything vital to life. I am so very grateful for this store."
"The herb shoppe is amazing! I had such a positive experience and the staff was so patient and helpful. As a newbie to herbalism and apothecary, it's so refreshing to be guided and helped out without any judgement. Vicky is super awesome and knows so much about herbalism and essential oils. Great selection of herbs and they have some delicious kombucha on tap."
"This place is amazing. The staff there are always very helpful. Reasonable prices for a large selection of herbs, teas, etc. They have smudge sticks and other things too. I am a huge fan of their turmeric chips for my inflammation. It's better than taking ibuprofen, and I can just drop a few chips in my tea."
