Yarrow

Yarrow is a common wildflower all over the continent, and it is as powerful a medicine as it is ubiquitous. Energetically, yarrow is known to support and promote healthy boundaries. This makes sense to me because yarrow is also strongly antimicrobial, so it can help us with both biological and energetic boundaries.

We use it both internally in our tinctures and externally in our salves to prevent infection. Yarrow has a paradoxical relationship with blood—it’s able to both staunch bleeding to prevent excessive blood loss, and promotes circulation to move stagnant blood. Like motherwort, yarrow is a diaphoretic that helps the body sweat out fevers and infection.

Not recommended for pregnant folks or people with liver complications
