I use wild yarrow. Things I've used it for that it did work on....ear ache,toothache ,sore throat, cold, flue, even covid, blood poisoning, athletes foot, jock itch, cuts, infections, stopping bleeding, bug bites, high fevers, as a preventative mixed into a cup of tea, a spot on my leg that was questionable, I've came to the conclusion if you can get it to the problem, chances are it'll fix it.
I love Yarrow!! You can’t kill it & it’s the easiest thing to grow, as they seem to make runners. I just saw Yarrow is now being used in hemorrhoid creams. 😅 Thank you! I’ve known some uses for it and appreciate your time telling us all the wonderful properties it has.
My sister was a botany major in college. She had told me that, technically the definition of a weed is just a plant that's growing where you don't want it to grow. Folks that intentionally grow fields of dandelions need to 'weed' out the plants that aren't dandelions. Technically, a tree can be a weed. This definitely gave me a new perspective!
Nice video! I do have to say though, as far as using Yarrow, one should stick to using the natural white flowered plant to receive the best medicinal qualities. They do not all do the same.
It seems that I am fortunate that I have wild yarrow growing in large patches all over my one acre lot. I'm also glad that I've been encouraging its growth.
Glad to know about all the colors having the same effect. I've wondered about that. That Moonshine is a cultivar as are the other colors - with the parent plant being the white one. I've rarely found the yellow to reproduce by seed but the white one is prolific re-seeder! Also, it is very effective on the spot fresh picked from the garden to stop bleeding.
I just looked up to see how polio is transmitted, and it’s usually through feces of an infected person more often than not. Someone has to come in contact with someone else’s poop, basically.
Lovely video and content ! Thank you 😊 you Americans make me laugh so much with the erb thing :)))) it’s got a h sound before the erb bit :) lol 😂. Thanks once again for the beautiful content
I love this video!!!!! I want to learn about medical herbs but no zip about any of it!!!! Do u think u can start doing an herb series devoting each video to 1 medical herb, it’s used, when/how plant it, when/how cut it, how prepare it n store it in order to use it medically????? Ty
Love the video iv had this in my gardeners for years but never new till today that it was a herb iv always used it for decorative plant in a borders thanks for teaching me something new 😀
I have just started on my path of medical plants🌱🌿 and want to thank you for your simple informative video...so excited as I have found yarrow growing in my garden👏😁💖
Thank you Amy for posting this that all colors are medicinal. I have yellow and others I see are White. I was unsure of using the yellow. Thank you so much! 🙂
Thank you Amy. This is great information. 😊.. this year is my first year growing Yarrow. Mine hasn’t flowered yet, but the plants are getting really big. I planted them in different types of soil to see what they would do and from potting mix to sandy loam they are thriving. Stay well and take care 😊
Lavender is another plant that grows very easily, even in bad, hard dirt, not needing much water. Even if they appear to die in the winter they don't, they'll spring back to life, in the spring. (They sure do look ugly in the winter though).
Thanks for sharing your knowledge! Funny to see the yellow variety of yarrow, as here in Central Europe we only have the one with the white/purpley flowers.
awesome thanks for the info, just getting into herbalism, and yarrow grows everywhere on the ranch i work on in Montana ! its the first herb ive ever harvested
I have well established Yellow Yarrow in my yard, just ,learning about it. Had an accident and haven't dead headed it . Aug 3rd now. Should I work so hard to harvest old, dried flowers or leaves? Still on a walker. Also have a small bundle from last year, Still in a paper bag hanging... any value left? Thank you. Blessings, Peggy
But you are using the cultivated yellow flowered yarrow. From what I've learnt it is the wild white one that's has more benifits than the cultivated yellow. I have the yellow in my garden as an ornamental, however I harvest wild white yarrow and have the wild growing in my garden too, it is definitely better. I would only use the yellow for the styptic in a push if that's all I could get. Smell and taste the difference between wild white yarrow and the coloured cultivated forms The cultivated taste sweeter and the leaves don't have such a strong pungent smell. Many of the wild plants produce their constituents to fight for themselves out in the harsher environment producing more beneficial medicine than a cultivator bread for the garden and planted so it had all its needs catered for it, which in turn makes a weak medicine. Hopefully this comment is helpful to people. Wild white or slightly pale pink yarrow is abundant in most areas so I invite people to try the wild and compare, you won't be disappointed. In fact if you pull at a stalk of wild yarrow you'll get a root to transfer to your garden so you can grow it on your land. Its abundant so one little root now ....you'll not need to wild harvest it in the years to come. Stick it some well draining part of your garden, the poor soil part would be great. don't feed it or pamper it, forget about it and you'll have your own yarrow as far better medicine to use than the coloured cultivator. The taste and smell tells you its better. Hope this helps.x
Every video you watch will be slightly different. I’ve heard lots of people say the wild version of your only has good medicinal, white and pink flowers but different information with every video or book. Wish you luck in your journeys.
Hi and thanks for sharing. Greetings from Cameroon. I love your presentation and l wish to learn more from you how can l get in contact with you for more information on how to star a herbal farm. How can one order medicinal seeds. God bless you and more grace to your efforts
Tuned in for info. that would tell me or show me rather than stuff I could read from the Google searches. Show us how to make tinctures or which parts of the plant is good for what ailment.
I have lots of videos about those things, and I linked the yarrow blog post in the description so you could read more about the herb and keep it handy. Including a tincture recipe ;)
I just bought some of the yellow "moonshine" yarrow from Lowe's, is it medicinal or for looks only? I have been told that the ones from big box stores are different.
No it's not, it may staunch a minor bleed but the rest of its medicinal consituants are very weak and not worth the bother, you can go harvest the good wild yarrow so easy, it's abundant.
I have to thank you so very much. I watched you in the fall last year (a lot of your vids lol) that now my basement is full of tinctures, dried herbs etc. I've done a notebook on my apothecary so anyone who finds my stash can use it. Now onto yarrow (insert smiley face here). Blessings. Southern Alberta. I make my remedies with CRUXX (190%). That should kill anything right? lol.
Yarrow reminds me of a valuable tip I learned from myself after many years observation. If you want to grow wild medicinal herbs, but are not sure how or where to plant, stop mowing your lawn. Time will take care of the rest, and it won't take long.
Love this video! Love Yarrow! So much good information. We started growing Yarrow in our herb garden and now pops up all over the homestead. The way you did the pictures in this video as you talked were lovely. Do you have a favorite way to use the plant once dried? Blessings
Thanks for the video. Are there different species of yarrow? The yarrow I find here in the PNW USA has much finer leaf branches then what I see in your video. I will check online but just wanted to put that out here for consideration.
I’m wondering about the soil. The ones right in a fence line just a couple of stems are more fine. On a loose soil hill they look fuzzy in leaves area and will be in a clump. Heavy tight fence line dirt was the fine ones and it was half shade.
In your book do you show how to use the herbs. Such as how much dried herb to oil or alchohol? Then how much to take internally? How to make a poultice or tea and how much of the herb is needed to be effective. This is something that is severely lacking in many books I've looked at. It shows what it's good for and then your on your own to figure out the rest. I think this is why people shy away from home remedies because they don't know proper amounts to use to be effective. TIA
I just found this video. You just said it’s easy to grow. Hmmm not really. I’ve been trying to grow from seed. First attempt brought good germination and had just transplanted several plants up a step in pot size. But I accidentally fried it while trying to harden it off. Found out this seedling is heat sensitive. Now on my second attempt to start and have had good germination again. But it’s still just growing so slowly. I started the second attempt outside since the temperature is now warm enough, and wondering if it’s too warm? Since I fried my first attempt. Wish I could find starts to yarrow. I’ll keep trying and not give up.
good question! I keep it dried until I need it. Or I make a tincture. For fever, it's best in a tea. For pain you can just take it internally through capsules or a tea. Or you can also make a poultice. For wounds, you just mash it up, or make a poultice, and place it on/in the wound.
@@TheFewellHomestead I came to ask the same thing as Cheryl. But, let's pretend you are talking to a total novice....(me!). I don't know how to make a tincture, capsule, or poultice. And as far as tea is concerned, all I know is the tea bags from the store. (I know, I'm a mess!). Help me know how to do those things, Amy! Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Love your channels!!!
This year I noticed that yarrow was on the road side and there was a field full, but after the spring it was gone. It was yellow and not white. I did buy a plant. Because I didn't understand why the yarrow I have is still growing and the one the what in the field and road side are gone. Can you shed some light on this?? I figured next year I'll try and get some before it disappears.
Hello :) I love this video, you have a new subscriber! I have a bunch of yarrow in my yard and I was wondering if you have advice for how to transplant or seed some of that yarrow into a pot so I can grow some extra in a controlled setting?
Amy, is yarrow still effective if it dried in the stems, while still planted, but new shoots still showing up elsewhere on different parts of plant? Can I still use the dried up ones for teas?
The wild white yarrow plants are best for medicinal purposes, pink wild as well. The colorful yarrow really has not much benefits from the 20 plus videos I’ve listened to.
I’m wondering what I am doing wrong with my yarrow? I planted it in the spring (Arizona), and it never got more than 2 inches tall by August. Does yarrow not like the ‘warmth’ of the Arizona desert? Would it do better grown in the winter here? I have fertilized it….it’s still green and alive….but it just won’t grow. I have other herbs that grow just fine….just not the yarrow.
Sorry, I don't know any herb that would make one courageous but prayerfull reading and careful study of the Word of God, the Holy Bible, will definitely do so as will the hymns of the Christian faith.
So with all these uses like for fever like you mention and for gastro.. is there certain ways to mix these up?? If you could send me any info would be appreciated. ❤️❤️
Do you have any information showing that all the different colors of Yarrow have the same medicinal properties? I was trying to see if I could plant the pink ones recently (it’s just the aesthetic that I’m going for in that particular area), but an herbalist friend of mine said that the studies that have been done have either only been done on the white variety, or that the white Yarrow definitely had stronger medicinal properties. I’m wondering if this is true or if you can point me towards any studies/information about the color varieties?
I foraged 20 yarrow plants today from an unmown overgrown grass verge I've now planted all 20 plants in my garden. I'll be drying it to make powder to stop bleeding.
Wow, did you really need to take 20 wild yarrow plants, walk about greedy. You only need one tiny little root to get you started. Please go and learn about ethnically wild harvesting before you damage the natural world anymore.
What sort of bleeding are you expecting ...after taking 20 plants from the wild to put in your own garden. If you have bleeding that bad you need the emergency department at a hospital, not yarrow. Please educate yourself before damaging the natural world anymore. Honestly, I'm sure you don't realise how bad that behaviour is, please learn and better yourself from now on.
Does Yarrow have a white type soft leaf and stem? I am growing it for my flower garden, they are so pretty. Then I see this video. So I hope I'm right. Mine is yarrow.
Yes the wild one is white and sometimes very pale pink. Taste and smell the difference, the wild one tastes more pungent and smells much stronger too, it makes stronger medicine than the coloured cultivator. Try for yourself and see what you learn from the wild one.
Hi I loved your video! I went right out and bought some Yarrow at Lowe's. It is moon Dust. Achilles. But it says on the tag not for human or animal consumption. Did I buy the wrong kind??
I use wild yarrow. Things I've used it for that it did work on....ear ache,toothache ,sore throat, cold, flue, even covid, blood poisoning, athletes foot, jock itch, cuts, infections, stopping bleeding, bug bites, high fevers, as a preventative mixed into a cup of tea, a spot on my leg that was questionable, I've came to the conclusion if you can get it to the problem, chances are it'll fix it.
What form did you use it in? For the toothaches, ear aches, and sore throat?
How do u use the root for blood cleansing
Tincture

Great info. Parker's Yarrow is topical use only, It has yellow flowers. Common Yarrow white flowers both internal and eternal!

I read that only white or pink flowers should be used internally. What is your thought on this.
This is somewhat correct. The white and pink flowers provide the most medicinal benefits. The other colors, not so much.
I read that you should NOT ingest the Yellow yarrow, but the White and Pink are ok to ingest

Yarrow deters mosquitos too.
Hello . How could you use this for teeth pain ? Can it be made in a jar of oil to rub on the tooth?
Yarrow for pain management would that be in tincture form?
So you are using moonshine or gold plate yarrow for medicinal purposes. It was hard to find info on this. Most is on white yarrow

Hello :) I love this video, you have a new subscriber! I have a bunch of yarrow in my yard and I was wondering if you have advice for how to transplant or seed some of that yarrow into a pot so I can grow some extra in a controlled setting?
I would just harvest the flowerhead right before they goto seed, or dig up the entire plant with a very large plant bulb and transplant!
Amy, is yarrow still effective if it dried in the stems, while still planted, but new shoots still showing up elsewhere on different parts of plant? Can I still use the dried up ones for teas?
It would depend on if it has been rained on. But generally, I say to stay away from it and collect it fresh instead.
It looks like golderod, will it grow in clay soil?
Thanks for the video 👍
Yes, it grows about anywhere
It'll grow just about anywhere! This particular yarrow is moonshine yarrow.
Do you have an herbal book or can you recommend a good one?

Yes it is true. Try both and compare for yourself, you'll soon realise the difference.
The leaves on mine are extra fuzzy. Are these prone to diseases/mites etc? Can I still use them?
How do you use it to stop bleeding? Tincture, salve, raw, powdered?
normally by using the crushed herb directly. Best in powdered form.
The leaves are the part typically used to stop bleeding.
My yarrow never flowered can I still use the leaves?
I foraged 20 yarrow plants today from an unmown overgrown grass verge I've now planted all 20 plants in my garden. I'll be drying it to make powder to stop bleeding.

How can i use this for acne ? Can i just grind up the green leaf and rub it on ?
This lady is wrong regarding that you can use any colour yarrow,you can only use white yarrow for medicinal purposes
Not according to other Herbalists🤷♀️ she is Right on track 👍🏻
Can you give this to kids? And breastfeeding moms?
I have heard that you should never take the yellow yarrow internally . Only the white and pink should be taken internally?
Does Yarrow have a white type soft leaf and stem? I am growing it for my flower garden, they are so pretty. Then I see this video. So I hope I'm right. Mine is yarrow.
Yarrow normally has white flowers, not yellow. But the leaves and stem will look at the same as the plant in this video.

All the pictures show Yellow flowers in your video? But you said they can be white.
The yarrow I have is white..is there a difference between the yellow and the white?
Yes the wild one is white and sometimes very pale pink. Taste and smell the difference, the wild one tastes more pungent and smells much stronger too, it makes stronger medicine than the coloured cultivator. Try for yourself and see what you learn from the wild one.
Yarrow sticks were what was originally used in I Ching divination.
I have wild yarrow growing on my property!
Bit HOW do you use it? Dry and ? Use as tea? How do you use it to stop bleeding
That information is in the blog post provided in the description :) You can use it in teas, directly packed in wounds etc.
Recently I read that we should not take yarrow for more than three days at a time. Have you heard this?
no, but its best to take a rest after 2-4 weeks, then start again.
Hi I loved your video! I went right out and bought some Yarrow at Lowe's. It is moon Dust. Achilles. But it says on the tag not for human or animal consumption. Did I buy the wrong kind??
All yarrow in the achillea family can be consumed for medicinal purposes etc.
@@TheFewellHomestead Thank you!
We're just discovering yarrow, and curious about its efficacy on certain common viru$es...
Okay I have yarrow everywhere and harvesting it

Yarrow. A weed in my yard, but I know what I'll be doing with it now.
Mine is white. Is it yarrow?
