Yarrow Root
Yarrow root (Achillea millefolium) has long been valued in herbal medicine for its astringent, anti-inflammatory, and wound-healing properties. Traditionally used to stop bleeding and promote the healing of cuts and bruises, it helps tighten tissues and reduce inflammation, making it effective for both internal and external injuries. Its astringent and antispasmodic effects also make it beneficial for relieving gastrointestinal issues such as cramps, indigestion, and diarrhea. When taken as a tea or tincture, yarrow root can help soothe the digestive tract and regulate excessive menstrual bleeding.
In addition to its digestive and wound-healing uses, yarrow root has been used to support immune function and reduce fevers by promoting sweating. Its antimicrobial properties help the body fight off infections, making it a traditional remedy for colds, flu, and minor respiratory issues. Yarrow also has a mild calming effect, which can aid in relieving anxiety and promoting relaxation. While generally safe in moderate amounts, it should be used with caution by individuals with allergies to plants in the Asteraceae family or those who are pregnant, as it may stimulate uterine contractions.
