In this month’s seasonal herbal exploration, we meet one of Europe’s oldest and most trusted medicinal plants: Yarrow (Achillea millefolium).
Known as Soldier’s Woundwort, yarrow has a long history as a battlefield medicine.
Traditionally used to help stop bleeding and support wound healing, it is also a remarkable herb for digestive health, menstrual wellbeing, and seasonal fevers.
