Yarrow Tincture

All yarrow used in this tincture and our oils is grown here on the farm and harvested during peak flowering for optimal potency.

Potential benefits:

Yarrow offers a range of potential health benefits, both internal and external, based on its long history in traditional medicine. Yarrow is known for its ability  to support wound healing both as an infused oil and as a tincture. I, personally, found it incredibly beneficial during my own surgery recovery to reduce bleeding and trauma afterwards. My surgeon even commented on how amazing my recovery was and how quickly I was healing compared to other, similar, cases!

Wound healing and stopping bleeding

• ·        It has hemostatic properties, meaning it helps to stop bleeding.
• When applied topically to minor cuts, scrapes, and wounds it can aid in healing and reducing blood flow. 

2. Anti-inflammatory and pain relief

• Yarrow contains compounds that help reduce inflammation, making it potentially useful for conditions like arthritis, gout, and skin rashes.
• It may also help relieve pain, potentially beneficial for migraines, headaches, and menstrual cramps. 

3. Cold and flu relief

• Yarrow is a diaphoretic, meaning it can help induce sweating, potentially aiding in fever reduction during colds and flu.
• It is also an anti-catarrhal, helping to remove excess mucus from the body, and antimicrobial, potentially fighting off infections. 

4. Digestive support

• Yarrow tincture can act as a bitter tonic, stimulating digestion and bile production.
• It may help ease various digestive issues like bloating, indigestion, diarrhea, and cramps, and potentially combat bacterial infections in the gut. 

5. Menstrual health

• Yarrow can be helpful in regulating menstrual flow, potentially reducing heavy bleeding (menorrhagia) and alleviating menstrual pain. 
• If you are looking for PMS relief, we recommend our Dark Moon Tincture that combines Yarrow and other herbs to help reduce the physical and emotional turmoil of monthly moon cycles. Yarrow tincture can also be taken alone if you do not experience the other symptoms supported by that mix.

6. Other potential benefits

• May help lower blood pressure and improve circulation.
• May act as a mild sedative, promoting relaxation and potentially aiding in cases of anxiety or stress.
• May help tone varicose veins. 

Important considerations:

• Pregnancy and breastfeeding: Yarrow is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding due to potential risks, including stimulating the uterus.
• Allergies: Individuals allergic to plants in the Asteraceae/Compositae family (ragweed, daisies, etc.) may be allergic to yarrow. Please try a tiny amount and wait 24h to verify whether this will be an issue for you before diving into a treatment program if you are uncertain.
• Medication interactions: Yarrow may interact with certain medications, including blood thinners, antacids, and drugs that cause sleepiness.

Dosage:

As with most tinctures, we recommend a dropperful (roughly 20-30 drops) added to water, or other beverage of your choice, one to three times a day depending on your condition.

If you are uncertain whether you can tolerate Yarrow or if it may interact with your medication, please verify with your doctor before trying it.

Please note that our tinctures are made with alcohol unless otherwise noted.
