Yarrow is a member of the sunflower and daisy family that comes in a wide
variety of colors, depending on species. Although the herb is native to
temperate regions in Asia, Europe and North America, it is also a popular
ornamental garden plant elsewhere.
The entire plant was used by various Native
American tribes for skin, and the Zuni chewed the flowers. Dried yarrow blossoms are used today to produce
infused oils, salves and ointments.
