🌼 Yarrow (Achillea millefolium)
The Warrior’s Herb — Supports Wound Healing, Digestion & Women’s Health
Legend says that Achilles used Yarrow to treat his soldiers’ wounds — earning it the nickname “The Warrior’s Herb.” This resilient perennial from the Aster family has long been used in traditional herbalism for its healing, anti-inflammatory, and circulatory benefits.
Rich in flavonoids and aromatic compounds, yarrow supports digestive balance, wound healing, and menstrual comfort while also calming inflammation throughout the body. Both its flowers and leaves are prized in teas, tinctures, and salves for their wide-ranging therapeutic value.
