<span style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0.4em;">Young Shoots

<span style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0.4em;">The name yarrow applies to any of roughly 80 species of daisy plants native to the north temperate zone. A. millefolium L. has finely divided leaves and whitish, pink, or reddish flowers. It can grow up to 3 feet in height. This hardy perennial weed blooms from June to November. Golden yarrow is Eriophyllum confertiflorum. Closely related to the Chamomiles. <span style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0.4em;">Yarrow is native to Europe and Asia and has been naturalized in North America. Its use in food and medicine is ancient, dating back to the Trojan War, around 1200 BC. In legend, Achilles used it on the Centaur's advice, hence the name. In classical times, yarrow was referred to as “herba militaris” because it stopped bleeding wounds received in war. Yarrow leaves have been used for tea, and young leaves and flowers have been used in salads. Infusions of yarrow have served as cosmetic cleansers and medicines. Sneezewort leaves ( A. ptarmica ) have been used in sneezing powder, while those of A. millefolium have been used for snuff. Yarrow has been used therapeutically as a “strengthening bitter tonic” and astringent. Chewing fresh leaves has been suggested to relieve toothaches. Yarrow oil has been used in shampoos for a topical**healing** effect. Compost activator It is also considered directly beneficial to other plants, improving the strength and health of sick plants when grown near them. Yarrow repels ants, flies, and Japanese beetles and attracts beneficial insects such as parasitic wasps and ladybird beetles.

If one takes action instead of crawling under a rock, coughs and colds can be avoided. To avoid a cold fighting its way into your body emergency medicine is required. The emergency tonic to be used in this case is yarrow, a universal agent to heal-all which has been used for thousands of years as a cold stopper. <span style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0.4em;">Yarrow’s scientific name hints of a legendary use. Achilles’ famous heel is said to have been healed when yarrow was applied to it. When studying herbal medicine it is useful to examine the mythical legends attached to medicinal plants. They will tell you something. In the ancient world, yarrow was seen as a potent healing agent, whether applied to a wound, or taken internally to prevent a cold setting in. Yarrow was the preferred domestic medicine of yesteryears' mothers who kept it around to keep coughs and colds at bay.

Start using yarrow the minute you suspect you have a cold coming on. Take 10 drops every 2 hours till symptoms aborted. DO NOT WAIT. Time is of the essence; failure to take action at the first signs could result in having an unnecessary cold. Head congestion, accompanied by severe pain, giddiness, nausea, running and weeping eyes, sharp pain the eyes and nose bleeds. Breaks a cold. Bronchitis. Yarrow has been scientifically proven effective against all Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. A small spray bottle of the tincture of the embryonic plant are used to spray the inside of the nose, lying in wait to kill all bacteria. Spraying the tincture in your nose does sting a little and makes the eyes water, but don't dilute it - the alcohol is antibacterial too. Pain-relieving astringent, antiseptic and anti-inflammatory action. <span style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0.4em;">Yarrow contains several substances, which are probably responsible for the anticold activity reported by those that use it. The plant contains sesquiterpene lactones including achillin, achillifolin, millefin, dihydroparthenolide, and balchanolide. These substances stimulate the digestive function, and are thought to stimulate the immune system. The stimulated immune system is then better able to fight off the cough or cold. Achillein, another constituent, acts on the blood vessels restricting blood flow to the mucous membrane. The substance is thought to make the mucous membrane less permeable to virus and bacteria and to reduce inflammation of the mucous producing membrane. It also contains azulene, an oil that reduces inflammation of the mucous membrane and body temperature.

Decreased pro-inflammatory cytokine production by LPS-stimulated PBMC upon in vitro incubation with the flavonoids apigenin, or luteolin, due to selective elimination of monocytes and macrophages. Immune system and host resistance. Glycosylated derivatives of caffeic acid are responsible for different biological activities such as suppression of humoral and cellular immunity. The residue of methanol extract of A. millefolium was rich of this component therefore it could be inhibitor of the immune system.
