Don’t call yarrow, aka achillea millefolium, the flowering plant found just about everywhere, a weed. The Indians used it to treat headaches, toothaches and just about everything. The Cherokee made a tea of it to reduce fever and aid in sleep.

  1. Love this perennial with its fern like leaves. Have yellow and red flowered yarrow in my garden; both make for a wonderful dried flower in a tall basket arrangement. Has a mild pleasant aroma too.

  2. Lest anyone ascribe some kind of over-romanticized cultural or moral superiority to the Indians because they used yarrow, everybody used it, not just the Indians.
