Yarrow (Achillea millefolium) has long been used as a healing agent 40-60,000 years ago to induce sweating and low fever. Traditional herbalists in China and India have used Yarrow to stop minor bleeding and to treat wounds and inflammation, especially in the intestines and reproductive tract. It has also traditionally been used as a mild sedative. 

Yarrow has been used to relieve bruises and pain via its salicylate-like derivatives such as stigmasterol and beta-sitosterol, that reduce the inflammatory processes, which may accelerate healing. These compounds stop the formation of enzymes necessary for a series of chemical reactions that cause inflammation and pain. 

A study comes from the Tehran University of Medical Sciences School of Pharmacy. The researchers studied 31 patients with chronic kidney disease in a double-blind, placebo-controlled trial. They concluded that when taken in proper doses, yarrow lowers nitrate levels in the blood. Therefore, it can positively affect people suffering from kidney and liver disorders. 

Caution: If you take any medications, please consult your healthcare provider before use, as yarrow interacts with certain medications.

Potential Allergen: If you're allergic to Asteraceae/Compositae family plants, you may also be allergic to yarrow.

Avoid If: Pregnant/breastfeeding women, people with bleeding disorders/blood thinners: avoid yarrow as it can increase the risk of bleeding/miscarriages/affect the menstrual cycle.

As with every herb, please do your research before use.
