Posted by Marilyn (Kentucky - Zone 6a) on May 21, 2013 9:05 PM "Achillea is a genus of about 85 flowering plants, in the family Asteraceae. The common name "yarrow" is normally applied to Achillea millefolium, but may also be used for other species within the genus. They occur in Europe and temperate areas of Asia. A few grow in North America. These plants typically have frilly, hairy, aromatic leaves. [ Reply to this comment | |
Posted by Bonehead (Planet Earth - Zone 8b) on Oct 12, 2013 3:45 PM Finely chop leaves for a slightly bitter peppery addition to salads and cheese spreads/dips. Infuse flowers for a facial steam or relaxing bath. Press fresh leaves onto razor cuts or small wounds to help staunch blood. Chew fresh leaf to soothe toothache, and swish infusion for inflamed gums. Tea may be used to regulate menstrual flow and to cleanse digestive system. Caution: extended use of leaves may result in skin sensitivity to light. The leaves will also help speed decomposition. [ Reply to this comment | |
