Yarrow, Organic, 50g

50g of Dried Organic Yarrow Flowers packaged in our plant-based cellulose, compostable bags.

Character & aroma

Aromatic, bitter and slightly sweet, with a dry, hay-like note. The flowers are milder and more fragrant than the leaves, but still distinctly medicinal rather than culinary.

Traditional uses

(Based on historical and folk use — not medical advice)

Internal use

• Fever support – commonly used in teas to encourage gentle sweating
• Cold & flu support – often combined with elderflower or peppermint

Yarrow flowers were preferred over leaves when a gentler preparation was wanted.
