Common Use: Yarrow
is one of the best diaphoretic herbs and is a standard remedy
for aiding the body to deal with fevers. It lowers blood
pressure due to a dilation of the peripheral vessels, stimulates
digestion and tones the blood vessels. As a urinary antiseptic
it is indicated in infections such as cystitis. Preparations
of yarrow flower have been shown to stimulate the gastric
juices, this would account for yarrows effectiveness as
a tonic, with improved digestion of foods, which is due
to the presence of bitter substances in the blossoms. Test
tube studies have shown yarrow to possess antibiotic properties.
