Herb Of The Week - Yarrow

[Guest guest]

Hi Folks,

 

This week (August 9 - 15) our herb of the week will be Yarrow (Achillea

millefolium ).

 

It is lovely to grow and oh so very potent a healer. I will post various

info about yarrow all week, and I hope that anyone who has any personal

experience with this plant will not hesitate to chime in about it :-D

Yarrow is one of my favorite plants.

A small sprig of yarrow when cooking beans will help to break down the

flatulence.

Dried , powdered or even fresh Yarrow will stop bleeding.

My favorite is how to get the most of a Tbsp. of yarrow ( flowers,

dried) when having sinus problems..: )

Our 2 cups of boiling water over a generous tablespoon of dried Yarrow

flowers.

Put a towel over your head and steam your face until the steam is gone.

Dip a washcloth in the still hot yarrow tea and pack your sinuses with

it, externally.

Use a neti pot or tsp. to sniff up some yarrow tea, holding one nostril

closed while doing one than he other..

Pour the rest into the bathtub and take a nice relaxing bath..

A little yarrow tea will also help you to sleep.
