When it comes to actually putting your yarrow to use, here’s how to do it. For colds, flu, and fevers, you can use fresh or dried yarrow as a tea to drink frequently throughout the day. Remember, yarrow is a bitter so you’ll need to add in some other good tasting herb to mask that bitter flavor. Peppermint is a great option! If you want to use yarrow as a nice immune booster, mild liver cleanser, or digestive aid, you can take your fresh or dried yarrow and make a tincture with it to take daily. If your little one gets a cut of some sort that’s bleeding quite a bit you can use yarrow to slow the bleeding. Simply take some of your dried yarrow, put it in your coffee grinder, quickly grind it into powder, and put the powder down into the cut. This helps to tighten the tissues (remember that astringent effect) and stop the bleeding. When the bleeding has stopped you can always rinse the wound out to try to get a closer look at it. Need yarrow for a toothache? Take a piece of yarrow root and soak it in a few drops of water to re-hydrate it. Place the root next to the tooth that is hurting along the gum line and replace it every hour or so to see if this helps.
