Yarrow Achillea millefolium flowers and leaves can be eaten raw or cooked in a salad. The leaves are a hop flavoring substitute and beer preservative. Yarrow is a “styptic†– an astringent herb that stops bleeding and lowers wound healing and clotting time by 32%. Yarrow has strong anti-microbial properties and it blocks infection by activating blood platelets to form a protective layer and protect wounds from infection-causing bacteria.
