Hand harvested locally by myself and dried, infused in extra virgin olive oil, then mixed with beeswax (Bray's Bee's) to create an amazing healing salve, brilliant for small cuts and wounds...apply this salve to a bleeding wound and watch it clot, amazing stuff! It does this job well because of it's astringent nature, helping to 'pull together' tissues. It's nicknamed 'solider woundwort' for it was said it was used during war time to stem the bleeding of injuries it can help relieve pain, fight infection and soothe inflammation. Yarrow also helps to circulate the blood, which makes it also good for varicose veins.
