Achillea millefolium (yarrow) is a resilient perennial native to Europe, Asia, and North America, long valued for its anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and astringent properties. Rich in flavonoids and essential oils, yarrow has been traditionally used for wound healing, digestive support, and menstrual discomfort, with modern research supporting its antioxidant-driven effects in inflammation and GI conditions. Its healing legacy dates back to Greek mythology, where Achilles reportedly used yarrow to treat battlefield wounds.
