In China, yarrow sticks were used to reawaken the spiritual forces of the mind when divining with the \u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eI-Ching\u003c\/em\u003e. The plant was thought to balance yin and yang forces and to make possible the meeting of heaven and earth. For the Greeks, yarrow was thought to provide protection, and yarrow was used by various Native American groups to its ability keep away flies and mosquitoes, to purify areas where sick people lay, drunk as a tea to induce sweating during flu-like symptoms, to purify the blood, and to ease bloody diarrhea. It was also valued for its energetic and spiritual qualities. The Teton Dakota People call yarrow “medicine for the wounded\"... “Warrior plant” is another common name for yarrow among native communities across the United States and Canada.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eEnergetically speaking, yarrow can be thought about as being cooling, anti-inflammatory, bitter in taste, and antimicrobial. It induces sweating and affects the blood and circulation. Some of its uses in the practice of contemporary herbalism include:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFirst Aid:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yarrow is named “warrior plant” for good reason. It stops bleeding both externally and internally. When you get a wound, it helps blood platelets stick together and form a scab. Herbalist Matthew Wood describes how yarrow sucks up blood from wounded tissue and draws it back into the vessels, and used in a poultice it stops bleeding from deep cuts and wounds almost immediately. This, combined with yarrow’s anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties, makes it a perfect first aid remedy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eInvigorates Blood:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yarrow both activates blood platelets \u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eand\u003c\/em\u003e breaks up coagulated blood as well.
