Yarrow for Fever and Flu
It seems rather innocuous, this lovely white flower, but yarrow has earned many expressive titles: staunchwort, wound wort, nosebleed, knight’s milfoil…most of these names are crediting yarrow’s remarkable ability to stop a wound from bleeding while reducing pain and infection.

Yarrow is an amazing healer and a plant that I fell in love with at first sight. Since then, I’ve been many through flu and fevers with yarrow as an ally.
