I love yarrow! I could sing its praises from the mountain tops! I use it, somewhat unconventionally I guess, to support pelvic circulation in male and female factor infertility. I just wrote about it in my latest post. Nice to find you here.
Oh, how interesting! I've never heard it being used for that. I will go read more about it in your post. It's amazing what all these plants can provide if we only take the time to work with them. It's great to connect with you!
Oh nice! I have feverfew babies also and the leaves are similar especially when they are young. As they mature, yarrow def has a leaf that is more feather-like (also it’s long & narrow). Yes, they are both from the aster family but that family is humongous so that’s not saying a lot, lol 😁 Thanks for the comment
I love using yarrow in a salve and I need to make my salve every year. When my kids were little I always carried a small container in my purse and it's still their go-to in the bathroom medicine cabinet if they cut themselves or (more likely) get a scratch from the cat.
It really is wonderful as a salve! I've added plantain (Plantago major) with yarrow for added itch and bug-bite relief, and it was a nice combination. Thanks for sharing!
I was helping some one with a compromised liver, whose sweating ability has turned off. I told her to make a diaphoretic herb tea out of Yarrow which is also a liver tonic, hepatoprotective. She reported she was sweating in an infrared sauna, just a little, but it is a start in the right direction.
Yarrow is among my top 10 herbs to have. It grows all around me.
Some times my nose will start bleeding because it is so dry here. I just grab some fresh yarrow leaves, roll them up and stick up my nose until the bleeding stops, which is usually right away.
Winters are cold and dry here. I made a yarrow salve out of coconut oil, tiny bit of bees wax and yarrow for the inside of my nose to apply during the winter.
I would say it's in my top 10 also. My son didn't care for the yarrow leaves in the nose, so I now use the yarrow salve instead, lol. Thanks for sharing your insights!
Yes, the salve is nice and works well. My nephew will not use yarrow leaves up his nose as he believes there is a bug on those leaves some where. At home we use the yarrow salve, but in the field, the leaves are every where and handy.

I’m growing yarrow and feverfew from seed and their seedlings look almost identical w similar feathered leaves, found that interesting same family?

I love yarrow! Protector spirit - especially of the empathic ones. xoxo
Oh, I like that!

Lol. Yeah, I use it fresh sometimes, too when camping and backpacking. It's great to have options for sure!
