Wild Yarrow Tincture (Achillea millefolium)
Wild Yarrow has a plethora of health benefits. I love the tincture because it supports so many systems in the body.
It's good for cold and flu season. It's diaphoretic, which helps with a fever, encouraging sweating and opening the pores, and letting some heat out. The volatile essential oils found in yarrow help to stimulate blood flow and circulation, which is good for varicose veins.
