    I love Yarrow, and your Yarrow tincture which I have in my bathroom, to put on my toothbrush every morning, also your releasing oil that has Yarrow in it sits on my alter and I use it every time I go in public!! And I just want to say thank you for saying that we are smart enough and capable to make these wonderful, simple medicines! It's because of you, I now have Yarrow, comfrey, plantain, calendula growing in my garden! Thank you!❤

    Thanks for the information on not using the colored yarrows. I germinated some wild yarrow seed from my home state of Wisconsin from my parent's land.. and was excited to have the true medicinal type. Then I heard a naturopath on a video say that he could tell no difference and go ahead and use the pretty colored ones. ...which sounded not right to me. You really know your stuff. I just started listening to you and I am learning what I need to learn..and taking notes so I don't forget important information. At 68 I am going forward... finally following an inner voice and knowing that I have heard in my spirit...that I would someday learn and use herbal medicine. I grew up wandering the woods and fields and I think I was on the "scent" of herbalism at a very young age.

    She's very generous.

I have a patch of young fern-like leaves that i wasnt sure what it was (not flowering yet) and this video helped me identify it. Especially since you said the smell is distinct! I smelled it right away. Cant wait for it to grow and bloom. Thanks so much for your knowledge 💗

    I have yarrow from my late mother's garden. It it still in my "herb garden," but it has almost naturalized on our property. I find it in new, different spots every year.
    I have a new oil infusion and new tincture sitting in my herb preparation cabinet, waiting to be finished. It makes me happy that the original plant is from my mother.

    Thank you for that info. Most of my herbs died this last summer/ winter. Strange heat, cooler than normal temps. My yarrow was the only one that made it thru. I've been considering putting my herbs in the ground, getting them out of pots. Now I know my yarrow should be fine with that decision. Can't say about the others. 🤷‍♀️

    I first heard of yarrow in a brewing book that it was used as a bittering in beer before hops. They found it gave you more of free thinking and heightened sex drive and when the church found out hops made you sleepy and such they made it illegal to use anything other than hops in beer in that time period

Looking forward to making tincture out of the former! 💚
