I have a serious inflammatory illness that has become debilitating over the last few months and Yarrow has been on my radar and I’ve been wanting to grow it. Yesterday I went outside and there was Yarrow all over my front lawn so I harvested it all. A tincture is brewing and some are drying to be used to make oil for a salve. It was like manna from Heaven, a wink from The Creator.

Yarrow is one of the highest regarded herbs when dealing with trauma and depression. Its also great for treating wounds and helps stop bleeding.

Bl. Ann Catherine Emmerich had supernatural knowledge from childhood, and Yarrow was, indeed, according to her, the best herb to have around.

[@sumibear]

I got lazy about turning over a pile of horse manure last year, and the yarrow took over! I'm also expanding a border of nearly-hot-pink yarrows and I love it! And I love my pale-yellow, silver-leafed one too. Variegated yarrows are so underrated.

Ooooh I had a dream about an Indian (a bindi, not feathers,) woman I’m Native American concerning her telling me to use yarrow cakes for something. She pronounced it yawdow (“d,”rolled her tongue on the rr!) strange I think. It grows wild on my reservation along with echinacea and wild bergamot.

Apparently the smarter type of Viking used to mash yarrow into a pulp and mix it with pork fat to be used as a salve you applied directly to wounds before they went out to battle.

And appreciate the Achilles fable. Thank you

I have used yarrow to draw out large splinters,,its works Very well👌

Yarrow is a miracle plant.

[@eileenrattigan253]

That identification part was really helpful hedge parsley looks similar to yarrow too. Tall white flowers can all look so similar when starting out.

[@storiesfromasuperhost8086]

Its hard to believe people don't see it. One small plant is now in patches all over my yard. I cut flowers and bring them in. I'll have to dry some of the leaves out and try a tea. Good information!

[@peterfrance7489]

Love the neanderthal reference. Those ancients must have been walking botanical encyclopaedias. The other day I noticed deer eating something on a rough, mixed area of lawn. Then yesterday as I walked the area I noticed this plant amongst the others. "Yarrow" popped into my head out of the blue. Part personal memory, part ancestral memory and partly the yarrow calling out to me I like to think.

[@lindaruss2880]

Love this great knowledge, thank you

[@OakwiseBecoming]

The plants do speak to us. The Christian invaders crushed our knowledge of these things. Embracing folkways is embracing truth, embracing roots is animistic shamanic paganism.

[@talitakumi8679]

I was delighted to identify the plant which I have been picking and storing all my life (in Croatia). First time I meet its English name. In my Croatian plant books they mention that some people might be sensitive (or even allergic) to yarrow so you should start easy. Maybe that's why the dog sneezed so much. We use it for stomach problems too. I enjoyed the video which brought me back to my youth, when I started picking yarrow. Thank you!

[@brianashley4612]

Just be sure it's that and not hemlock !

[@growbig27]

I have stomach problems with antiinflammatory drugs yarrow, nettle and Devil's Claw cause similar problems.

[@aimeelovric]

great comment - i visit croatia alot and want to identify some of the new plant matter I find . Do you know any English copies of herb identication booke in croatia? Kind regards

[@talitakumi8679]

@@aimeelovric I am so glad you found my comment of interest. Thank you!Sorry but I don't know any English books on that matter. One herb that you definitely mustn"t miss, and it is flourishing all summer, is hypericum perforatum (its Latin name), and popularly called Our Lady's herb (Gospina trava), or Iva trava (Iva herb). Infusion is scientifically accepted as a mild sedative, also good for liver. When freshly cut flowers are soaked in olive oil, its excellent for skin diseases. Maybe Latin names could lead you to correspondent plants. E.g.yarrow is achillea millefolium. I wish you a good harvest of herbs! If I find other Latin names, I can write them down for you. Kind regards!

[@skylarc8859]

I grew up with loads of these plants all around in Scandinavia. i knew about the aromatic smell when rubbing the leaves but had no idea it was a healing plant :) thank you for sharing

[@missluna5]

Wow I learn so much from your videos. I was immobilised earlier in the year and couldn’t get out to my garden to do anything so I’ve let Mother Nature be my gardener and guess what, she’s blessed me with a lovely patch of yarrow! So happy you taught me to identify it and learn about it in-depth. Blessing to you and your family.

[@RawOrganix420]

Isn’t it crazy how a ton of yarrow growing wild in the yard is like treasure to us, but to most of society it’s a nuisance and needs to be eradicated. Maybe one day we can educate enough people to make a chnage

[@Jsarson1976]

I have fibro and yarrow, cramp bark and Jamaican dog weed. I came off 4 medications for pain taking these. Nature is our medicine cabinet, not chemicals.

Yeah, plant medicine. Real medicine. I appreciate the enthusiasm you have for Yarrow uses. Kinda humorously at that.

[@jossambrose6296]

I introduced a friend of my kids to yarrow today, she had a cut on her leg. The great thing is you can find it just about everywhere - including well mowed lawns, minus the flowers of course. I love the flavour of the leaves, it's similar to parsley. Take it from me, it goes really well with fish.

When i was a kid, it was well known about squeezing up a few yarrow leaves and plugging a nostril for a bleeding nose! So great to see this in your video, and remember all these little things id forgotten xx thank you

[@captainamericaamerica8090]

Yarrow will stop a nose bleed? Can it?

[@shineon651]

Depending on how severe the nose bleed is. Dad got some of his nose bleeds to stop by packing nose with yarrow. Nose bleeds were due to blood thinner. When the blood was poring out, it didn’t work. Only with the lighter nose bleeds did we have success.

[@tonygassner5406]

In Croatia people have been making delicious drink out of it by putting flowers in water with bit of lemon and letting sit in Sun for few days.
