Historical Notes:

Yarrow is considered a classic medicinal plant. Dioscorides, Pliny, and Hildegard von Bingen mention its use for hemostasis and wound healing. Lunicerus and Tabernaemontanus additionally describe yarrow's action in stimulating appetite and digestion. It is believed that Achilles learned of yarrow’s healing properties from the centaur Chiron.

Scientifically Supported Applications:

The German Commission E recommends using yarrow flowers and herb for anorexia and digestive complaints, as well as externally for sitz baths in gynecological issues of the lower abdomen. Its spasmolytic, diuretic, and anti-inflammatory effects seem reasonable due to its constituents, although clear scientific documentation is lacking.
