Achillea Millefolium (Yarrow)

Traditionally, Yarrow has also been used to treat respiratory infections, menstrual pain, and digestive upsets.

Legend has it, the Greek general Achilles used yarrow to stop his soldier's bleeding during the Trojan War: thus the name Achillea and the common names "soldier's wound-wort," "bloodwort," and " herbe militaire "

Yarrow is commonly taken at the first sign of a cold or flu to bring on sweating and, according to tradition, ward off infection. Crushed yarrow leaves are also applied directly as first aid to stop nosebleeds and bleeding from minor wounds.

There has not been any formal scientific study of how well yarrow works.
