Rich in achilleine, azulene, tannins, and flavonoids, yarrow is simultaneously haemostatic (stops bleeding), diaphoretic (breaks fevers through sweating), anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and antispasmodic. One of the most complete medicinal herbs in the European flora — the herbalist’s Swiss Army knife.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Benefits\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWound healing \u0026amp; haemostasis · Fever management · Heavy menstrual bleeding · Cold \u0026amp; flu · Anti-inflammatory · Digestive tonic\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow to Use\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSteep 1–2 tsp dried yarrow in 250ml hot water for 5–10 mins, covered.
