Pure Herbs - Yarrow

BODILY INFLUENCES: The Honorable Greek hero of legend, Achilles, said the juice from fresh Yarrow put into the eye will take away redness. The American Indian knew Yarrow as a swift remedy for the rundown feeling and indigestion. He further used Yarrow as a remedy for increasing the urinary flow from the kidneys. Although sweating has become socially unacceptable, it is essential to the health of the skin. For those able, sauna and exercise are recommended. Yarrow settles nerves and thus reduces high blood pressure. It relieves shortness of breath and wasting of spinal marrow. Its list of successes is legion. Beneficial results in this partial list confirm its revered status among herbalists: Childhood diseases, including infant diarrhea, uterus problems, Bright's disease (egg white material in the urine), gas, piles, sore nipples, fistulas, flu and hair loss. Yarrow may be taken for involuntary loss of urine, bed wetting, spitting up of blood, as a nervine and as a remedy for common colds and high blood sugar.

DOSAGE: 30 to 60 drops three times per day in fluid or under the tongue.

Yarrow - Achillea millefolium

Hildegard of Bingen was the abbess of a Benedictine convent on the Rhine. She was one of the best educated persons of the 12th century and her medicine, music, and mystical teachings continue to be appreciated by people around the world. With respect to Hildegard’s use of yarrow to prevent metastasis of malignancies, we rely heavily on the medical doctors of our times to interpret her understanding, one that included the concept of miniature organism visible only to those with spiritual vision as the causative factor in tumors. The danger of metastasis was thought to increase with any intervention so to avert crises, the patient was urged to drink yarrow powder in fennel tea for three days prior to the procedure. Then, the powder could be added to warm wine for eight more days. This was understood to be protection, not treatment for the original tumor.

A comment and experience by an individual whom is an herbal researcher:

You can feel completely grounded, open and sensitive, but grounded.

The idea of the flower essence is that it works on a subtle level in

a similar manner that the herb does on the more physical level. Just

as the herb promotes proper healing of wounds, without infection of

the site, the flower essence promotes healing of the aura without any

loss of sensitivity.
