Achillea millefolium
organic yarrow
plant overview
old man’s pepper
Yarrow, also known as old man's pepper, devil's nettle, sanguinary and nosebleed
plant, is a perennial, flowering plant in the Asteraceae family, which includes
daisy, aster, sunflower, chrysanthemum and marigold. The herb naturally occurs
most of Europe, North America and parts of Asia. Yarrow’s botanical name,
Achillea millefolium, and one of its common names, soldier's woundwort,
originate from the legend of Achilles, the Greek hero of the Trojan War who
reputedly distributed the plant to wounded soldiers at risk from blood loss.
Today, the fern-like leaves and colorful flowers are dried for use in floral
crafts and to make tinctures, infused oils and salves.
