About This Herb

Yarrow (Achillea millefolium) is one of the oldest and most widely revered herbs in the world's healing traditions, used continuously for over 3,000 years across Western herbalism, Ayurveda, Traditional Chinese Medicine, and the healing traditions of Native American peoples across North America. Named after the Greek hero Achilles, who is said to have used it on the battlefield to tend to his soldiers' wounds, Yarrow has earned a place in virtually every traditional healing culture on earth for its remarkable versatility and botanical complexity.

In Ayurveda, Yarrow is known as Biranjasipha and is classified as a bitter (tikta) and pungent (katu) herb with a cooling-to-neutral energy. It is traditionally used to support Pitta and Kapha balance, and is valued as a gentle tonic for natural circulation, seasonal skin ease, and natural cleansing of the blood and lymph in classical Ayurvedic practice. Its breadth of traditional use across so many independent healing traditions, arriving at similar conclusions independently, speaks to the genuine depth of this herb's botanical character.

Yarrow is also part of Kimmana Nichols' custom-designed formula, Anti-Ama Tea, a classical Ayurvedic detox and digestive wellness blend in which Yarrow contributes its naturally bitter, cleansing, and circulation-supporting qualities alongside Guduchi, Tulsi, Ginger, Turmeric, and twelve other Ayurvedic herbs.
