The Profile

Yarrow is a legendary herb of protection and healing, named after the Greek hero Achilles, who reportedly used the plant to staunch the wounds of his soldiers. The essential oil is visually stunning—a vibrant, deep ink-blue color. This blue hue is caused by the presence of chamazulene, a powerful anti-inflammatory compound that is only released during the distillation process. The aroma is sweet, herbaceous, and slightly camphoraceous, with a spicy, dry undertone. It is a "master balancer" in aromatherapy, known for its ability to regulate fluids and energy within the body.

Therapeutic Actions

Anti-inflammatory (potent), Antispasmodic, Cicatrisant, Digestive, Emmenagogue, Expectorant, Febrifuge, Hemostatic (stops bleeding), Hypotensive, Vulnerary.

Usage & Benefits

·         Skin & Injury: The "Blue Healer." Yarrow is unsurpassed for treating inflamed skin conditions, such as eczema, psoriasis, and allergic rashes. Its hemostatic properties make it excellent for treating slow-healing wounds and varicose veins.

·         Female Health: It is a profound hormonal balancer. It is used to regulate the menstrual cycle, particularly when periods are heavy, painful, or irregular. It also helps cool the "heat" of menopause.

·         Digestive: Helps stimulate the secretion of digestive enzymes and bile, easing indigestion and inflammation within the gut.

·         Circulatory: Yarrow is known to improve overall circulation and lower blood pressure. It is specifically helpful for "moving" stagnant blood, such as in the case of hemorrhoids or bruises.

·         Fever: As a diaphoretic, it helps the body release heat through sweat, making it a classic choice for supporting the body through the tail-end of a feverish cold.

Emotional Benefit

Yarrow is the "Oil of Energetic Boundaries." It is for those who are "emotional sponges"—people who pick up on the moods and tensions of others and feel drained by them. It acts as an etheric shield, knitting together tears in the emotional aura caused by trauma or over-sensitivity. Yarrow provides the integrity and protection needed to remain compassionate without losing one's own sense of self.

The "At Home" Remedies

1.       The "Inflammation Soother": Add 1 drop of Yarrow to a teaspoon of Aloe Vera gel. Apply to itchy, red, or inflamed skin to immediately "cool" the irritation.

2.      The "Moon Cycle" Massage: Mix 2 drops of Yarrow and 3 drops of Clary Sage into 15ml of carrier oil. Gently massage the lower abdomen in a clockwise motion to ease menstrual discomfort.

3.       The "Shield" Inhalation: Before entering a crowded or stressful environment, inhale Yarrow directly from the bottle to strengthen your emotional boundaries.

Synergy Blend

The "Blue Tranquility" Blend To calm physical and emotional inflammation

·         3 drops Roman Chamomile

·         3 drops Bergamot

Blending Partners

Bergamot, Cedarwood, Clary Sage, Cypress, German Chamomile, Juniper Berry, Lavender, Lemon, Pine, and Rosemary.

Safety Data, Warnings, & Precautions

Generally non-toxic and non-sensitizing, but it may cause skin irritation in some individuals; always perform a patch test. Because of its powerful effect on the reproductive system, avoid during pregnancy. Like all "blue" oils, it is highly concentrated—use in low dilutions.
