Yarrow Tea
Yarrow (Achillea millefolium) is one of the world’s most prevalent medicinal herbs with over 140 species, as well as being widely used as a culinary ingredient to make tea and other products.
Yarrow has long been used for its anti-inflammatory and wound healing properties, as well as to relieve anxiety and insomnia. Furthermore, its plant compounds may improve digestive health, treat certain mental conditions, help with cardiovascular and respiratory ailments and even provide some preventive benefits.
Yarrow not only boasts an abundant source of vitamin C, but its plant chemicals also play a pivotal role in strengthening our immune systems – this makes it highly effective at fighting symptoms associated with colds and flus like coughing and congestion. Furthermore, its promotion of sweating may help clear sinuses and nasal passages more effectively than its Vitamin C content alone can.
Since ancient times, yarrow has been utilized as an herb used for women’s reproductive health. It acts as an emmenagogue, stimulating blood flow to the pelvic region and encouraging menstruation among those suffering from amenorrhea. Furthermore, taking Yarrow may ease menstrual cramps or premenstrual water retention symptoms as well as having antispasmodic properties which relax stomach and intestinal muscles.
Recent animal studies have demonstrated the promise of yarrow extract for treating certain forms of cancer. In particular, it can inhibit cancer cells’ proliferation and stop them from spreading further due to its ability to inhibit formation of lipids essential for tumor growth and metastasis. While yarrow is generally safe to use for this purpose, please consult a healthcare professional regarding any specific health concerns and dosage information before beginning therapy with this supplement.
