The Backyard "Weed" You Overlooked

If you’ve ever seen a delicate white flower growing along sidewalks, fields, or even your backyard, chances are you’ve met Yarrow (Achillea millefolium) — one of North America’s most overlooked medicinal plants.

 

For thousands of years, yarrow was considered a foundational healing herb. Indigenous communities and early herbalists valued it for its versatility and resilience. Traditionally, yarrow was used to support:

• Wound healing and minor cuts
• Healthy inflammatory response
• Fevers, colds, and seasonal discomfort
• Digestive and circulatory balance

Fresh yarrow leaves were often crushed and applied topically for minor skin support. The flowers and leaves were steeped into teas to help the body respond to fevers or digestive sluggishness. Some traditions even used yarrow in herbal steams or infused oils for overall wellness support.

So why don’t more people use it today?

 

Because somewhere along the way, we forgot how simple plant medicine can be. We stopped learning how to use the wild plants growing around us and began outsourcing wellness to synthetic solutions. Yarrow didn’t stop being valuable — we just stopped paying attention.

 

Yarrow is a reminder that some of the most powerful plants aren’t rare — they’re simply forgotten.

Modern herbalism continues to value yarrow as a supportive herb for the body’s natural detoxification and balance processes, especially when combined thoughtfully with other botanicals. On its own, it’s impressive. In synergy, it’s even more powerful.

 

That’s exactly why we include Yarrow in our Detoxify formula.
