399: The Many Benefits of Yarrow (Achillea Millefolium) Essential Oil (Solosode)


Listen Later

In this third solosode, I dive deep into the details of yarrow and yarrow essential oil.

My desire to learn more about yarrow essential oil came from my doctor’s intuition to explore it for an issue my client was having. My endeavor proved to be humbling and beneficial for us both. 

During the show, I summarized all I discovered regarding this herb and its essential oil.  I think you’ll be impressed by the many useful compounds that this plant possesses. It has the potential to support a wide range of body systems, especially the skin, lungs, and digestive tract.

Initially, I released my review on yarrow to my essential oil community members as a video and review article. Now, I’m sharing it with you with some updates on the Essential Oil Revolution. 

You can access the full review article with references in the resource section.

Here’s what you’ll learn in the full episode:

  • The botanical information on Achillea millefolium (yarrow)
  • The history and traditional uses for yarrow and yarrow essential oil
  • Yarrow’s aromatic properties
  • The chemical makeup and main constituents found in yarrow herb and essential oil

  • Potential uses of yarrow essential oil including for the support of respiratory, skin, and breast health
