Yarrow essential oil is made by steam distillation of the dried flowers and leaves of the Achillea millefolium plant. The perennial plant is widely distributed throughout the world in places with temperate climates. Although the entire genus includes more than 120 species, it is yarrow that is most widely used, and is considered a "first aid" plant in herbalism. It relieves physical and mental fatigue, while offering a truly unparalleled fragrance.
Yarrow exhibits antibacterial activity, and is primarily known for its positive effect on wound healing. It stops bleeding and prevents infections, bringing immediate relief. Due to its anti-inflammatory properties, it can be applied to sore joints. It is useful during illness - it helps remove excess phlegm, facilitates breathing and stimulates immunity.
Yarrow essential oil also finds a place in cosmetics, especially for oily and problematic skin - as an additive to your favorite products or a spot treatment. It easily penetrates the epidermis - revitalizing, softening, tightening pores and shallowing fine lines. However, be careful with sensitive skin, as the oil, although natural, is also very potent. The product stimulates hair growth, nurtures strands and eliminates the problem with dandruff.
