Yarrow, a well-rounded herb, has a reputation for its versatility in wound healing, blood circulation, and digestive support. Known as a “blood mover,” Yarrow has been used traditionally to regulate blood flow, particularly during menstruation, and is effective in addressing both external and internal wounds. Yarrow also supports digestion, alleviates inflammatory skin conditions, and is unique in its cooling, bitter vasodilation.
