Finding this plant is more valuable than finding money — most people think it’s just a weed.

INGREDENT

  • 1 handful fresh Yarrow leaves and flowers (or 2 tbsp dried)
  • 1 cup boiling water (for tea)
  • 1 cup olive oil (for making infused oil)
  • 1/4 cup beeswax (optional – for making salve)
  • Cheesecloth (for straining)
  • Clean glass jar or dropper bottle

Instructions

For Yarrow Tea (internal use for digestion, fevers, or colds):

  1. Rinse fresh Yarrow gently under cool water.
  2. Add to a cup or teapot and pour over boiling water.
  3. Let steep for 10–15 minutes.
  4. Strain and drink warm — up to 2–3 cups a day.
    Note: Has a bitter taste. Add honey or lemon if desired.

For Yarrow Oil (for wounds, bruises, or skin irritations):

  1. Fill a jar halfway with dried Yarrow (or fresh, wilted for a few hours to reduce moisture).
  2. Cover completely with olive oil.
  3. Seal the jar and place it in a sunny window for 2–3 weeks. Shake daily.
  4. Strain through cheesecloth and store in a dark glass bottle.

To Make Yarrow Salve (great for cuts, rashes, or burns):

  1. Gently heat 1/2 cup Yarrow-infused oil with 1/4 cup beeswax until melted.
  2. Pour into small tins or jars.
  3. Let cool and solidify.
  4. Use topically as needed.

Yarrow is anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and can stop bleeding. It’s been used for centuries and is often called “nature’s bandage.” Never underestimate the healing power of what looks like “just a weed.”
