Yarrow was esteemed as a vulnerary, and its old names of Soldier's Wound Wort and Knight's Milfoil testify to this. The term Achillea originates from Achilles, the legendary Greek warrior who apparently made an ointment from the leaves, using it to treat his warriors wounded in the siege of Troy. By the 1450s, yarrow was extensively used for its therapeutic properties. Herbalist Gerard recommended the herb for headaches, to stop nose bleed and for toothaches. It was also recommended as a poultice for treating piles and an ointment of the leaves to cure wounds. The herb is still prescribed for its diaphoretic, stimulant and tonic effects, mainly in warm infusions as a way of opening the pores to induce perspiration in the treatment of colds and influenza. The herb is recommended for lack of appetite, stomach cramps, flatulence, gastritis, enteritis, internal or external bleeding of all kinds, wounds, sores and skin rashes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePharmacology and Clinical Studies\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yarrow extracts are reported to have hypotensive, astringent, antibacterial and choleretic properties.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIndications\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCirculatory System\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e: Yarrow oil is beneficial for treating varicose veins and haemorrhoids.
