Yarrow
stops bleeding and supports wound healing
Yarrow (Achillea millefolium) has performed quite well in recent studies on its anti-inflammatory and wound healing properties. Specifically, an NIH study done in 2018 indicated that it can be used to increase healing times at episiotomy and c-section incision sites. In addition, it is known to have antispasmodic properties, making it a friend to irritable bowels; and anti-hemorrhagic properties, making it a friend to postpartum women (this is why it is included in my postpartum v-steam formula).
I always have a bottle of Yarrow tincture on hand in my medicine cabinet to act as a natural neosporin. It helps to disinfect wounds- you can dilute it in some water to wash cuts and scrapes. It helps stop bleeding when nicked by a razor (or you picked a pimple and it’s bleeding)- put the tincture directly on a Q-tip and apply pressure. I’ve used a yarrow tincture soaked Q-tip as well for bleeding gums when my kids have had orthodontic procedures or lost teeth.
Yarrow can also help reduce fever through perspiration, although I let a fever run its course, if possible - the body is typically producing a fever for a reason. For this reason, and its ability to help reduce mucus, it’s been used to help treat influenza.
