Discover the fascinating world of yarrow! This quite inconspicuous wonder of nature surprises with an astonishingly broad spectrum of action and is considered one of the best medicinal plants for women. Thanks to its ingredients – including valuable essential oils, bitter substances and flavonoids – the effects of Achillea millefo- lium are countless: antibacterial and antiviral, hemostatic, menstruation-regulating, anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer, detoxifying, antispasmodic, pain-relieving, circulation and digestion-promoting effects, to name just a few. But that’s not all by a long shot: its ba- lancing, harmonizing properties make yarrow a panacea – it helps with diarrhea as well as constipation and weak periods as well as heavy periods.

All parts of the plant above ground – leaves, flowers and stems – can be used for health and well-being: in the form of teas, fresh juices, tinctures, oil extracts, homeopathic remedies, creams and ointments, or even freshly picked as first aid for wounds and insect bites.
