My daughter got a head injury a few months ago, a big cut on the top of her head. I packed it full of yarrow and the bleeding stopped immediately. Because it was a head injury and there where some other signs of possible concussion, we took he to the urgent care. None of the Drs or nurses knew what yarrow was and they were all amazed at how little blood she had! So they got a nice little home remedies and history lesson about yarrow and its role in past wars. She did end up getting three staples. No concussion praise the Lord!
Yarrow saved my chicken who's wing got torn by a fox. I poulticed her up and she's 3yrs strong.
Since you mentioned psoriasis, I thought I'd tell you about what I am trying now that is working. I had head to toe psoriasis. It had recently gotten debilitating bc of an illness. It was bad. I'm talking about not wanting to live bad. Because of you and Stacey I decided to try a Castor Oil liver pack. I went with QOT. I'm on day 14 and I am almost completely clear! ❤
I just ordered my castor oil packs from Queen of the Thrones last night. I can’t wait to start using them. So glad to hear you are getting great results from castor oil treatments.
That's awesome❤
So Awesome ! Glad to hear you are doing better. ❤
Last summer one of my daughters miscarried at 12 weeks. The bleeding continued for over a week, and was very heavy. She asked me what herb[s) she should use to address the bleeding. I told her to use yarrow tincture, but I had just started my yarrow tincture only two weeks prior to the miscarriage, so I didn’t feel it would be strong enough yet. She managed to find a yarrow essential oil, which was ok’d as safe for human consumption. She put several drops into tea and drank it three times per day. The bleeding slowed dramatically on day 2, and completely stopped by day 4.
last year we were forced out of our apartment because it sold. Not knowing where we would end up, a friend allowed us to garden on his property which is 132 acres with 12 cranberry bogs and ponds. In return I give him vegetables and help harvest his cranberries. Anyway, I found some Yarrow on the edge of the woods in part shade by one of the ponds. I dug some up and planted it in full sun around the garden (about 3 plants in 3 areas) and it looked liked it had died. To my surprise, it came back and had spread and I now have 3 huge patches of it which just started to bloom last week. We now live just 4 minutes from the garden and I walk the property daily finding all sorts of beneficial plants and trees.
We don't watch many homesteading videos anymore, we are so busy doing it ourselves and adding more greenhouses and just put in a fully automatic commercial germination house, but we always pay attention when you talk herbs and I bet we will add to our Yarrow plants very soon. Much Love from David and Terri at Old South Homestead
I love yarrow! My 7yo learned about it this past summer. She started telling neighbor kids all about it too. ❤
Who else automatically smiles back at Heidi at the end of each video? And periodically throughout the video as well!
I have never used yarrow medicinally, but plan to. I used to have a nice patch of it in my garden, but has since been overtaken with other things. I'm hoping to start some seeds indoors for my herbs to plant outside this spring.
I'm so looking forward to updated herbal videos. I really need to get my butt in gear and work on my herbal card file. (I've been busy with snow removal lately....great exercise by the way...)
God bless!!
You say herbs...I click. 🌿❤🌿
I added some flowers to my meal just last night! The bitterness of yarrow is easily masked, and it stimulates digestive enzymes. It was an experiment, but I'll definitely be doing it again in the future. I've become a yarrow junkie, drinking it, eating it, smoking it, and I'll be making a salve from it soon for wounds &c. Yarrow is the best! I just wish I had started harvesting it sooner.
We spray the tincture of yarrow as a mosquito repellant. I've gargled with the tincture to get rid of strep throat. A diagnosed case went away in its first three days without antibiotics. It has an antibiotic property that works against strep bacteria. We also use it dried and ground as wound care, although I always prefer to use the tincture to prevent possible irritation to the wound by the dried bits. But where comfrey shouldn't be used with deep wounds, yarrow is perfect for healing in even deep wounds. Wonderful as an oil or salve as you say.
I'm excited to use yarrow more after seeing this video. I've used it once in a tea and I learned that it is amazing at moving bile if that's a desired effect for anyone. You'll have kelly green poop for a couple of days but at least you'll know it's working. 😂
So glad my sister grows it for its beauty. I will enjoy its many uses. Thank you for the great video.
I love yarrow! As a tea it has helped me and my family recover from the flu many times over the years.
However, if you are a nursing mother it will dry up your milk.
I watched from the beginning to the end. I love your video on Yarrow.
Been wanting to know how to use Yarrow.
You mentioned your soaps.... I've been searching high and low for someone that makes a simple ingredient Lye soap. The old fashioned Lye soap without the scents/fragrances. If you don't make and sell your soaps would you be willing to share your recipe/instructions on how you make yours?
UPDATE::::: I FOUND THE BASIC SOAP MAKING VIDEO!!
I should have searched it before asking about it. Thank you for making that video❤
Your skin and hair look fantastic, please share a video of what you use for your beauty.

Ikr she's beautiful inside and out ❤
@@skyd.2084 Very kind of you to say *blush*
I love yarrow both grandfathers were independent floral wholesalers and both would pick wild yarrow to dry the yarrow for florists to use in arrangements
I was going to try and make a mouthwash with my tincture for oral health! It looks beautiful with the fern like leaves floating as it is extracting. Everyone commented on how neat and beautiful it was! It also is so easy to grow and beautiful! Thanks for sharing. I am always learning from you!🥰
Yarrow grows wild around here everywhere. I haven't tried it in an eye wash...interesting.👍 I use it mostly in cold and flu teas.
Thank you Heidi! Yarrow is one of my favorites, it's versatile! Tincture is very helpful for pain, inflammation, anxiety, and sound sleep when it is hard to turn your mind off. You are appreciated for getting the information out there, very useful!
Thank you for your valuable information! I'm so glad I found Rain Country. I've added to the knowledge I've gained the last 10 years or so and almost exclusively tune in to your videos only. God's blessings from our little homestead in Western PA.
Great video! Very interesting and informative. Thank you. 😊🌱💚🌻🐝
I use it in tincture, I made salve, I drink tea, I eat it raw in salads, wonderful plant
Love yarrow. I may try growing it in a container this year because I've had no luck in the ground ( voles). Thanks Heidi, have a good weekend. 🙂💓
Thank you, thank you, thank you! I'm just so grateful for your videos. 🌺
Your channel has been blessing us since Feb 2013. It has been 11 years of learning from you. I started watching you since 2015, and I am still not done watching everything you have shared.
I actually did not start making videos until summer of 2016 but yes, I have had the account since 2013
Thank you
Wow! I think I will buy some yarrow seeds! Thanks!
Yarrow is a great medicinal herb. We've used it a few years now. Mostly for burns and cuts etc with great results. It also stops bleeding super fast. Healing is sped up and scarring reduced.
How is it used to stop bleeding? Tea? Poultice? I'm growing some but haven't learned how to use it. My husband is currently on blood thinners so I'm always afraid of him bleeding out if he gets an injury.
Poultice. If using fresh leaves/flowers you can break it down by chewing it out using a mortar and pestle. If using dry mix a little water with it to create a paste.
Yarrow is one of the herbs that I know very little about. Thank you, looks like I need to look more into this one. Many Blessings!
I make a skin balm with arnica, self heal and calendula. Works wonders for all sorts of skin issues. Going to add yarrow to the next batch ❤
Thanka for all the great information 🌻🐝
I use ground up yarrow as a styptic. Cutting the puppies nails is challenging because of the squirm factor and you cant get precise enough to avoid the quick. I gave soe to hubby for those shaving nicks but he is old fashioned and stull comes out of the bathroom with toilet tissue plastered on his face. 😂
Teas and tea blends are my preference. I made a fever tea using borage, yarrow and peppermint. It was yummy and I believe it helped. If the fever broke on its own because it was time to happen, it was still yummy.😊
Yarrow grows wild in our state. We love it! We let it grow in it's natural habitat. We use it in teas and tinctures. It is very astringent tasting, it works though. So, glad you highlighted this Wonderful herb, Heidi.
I planted yarrow last year and hopefully it will come up this spring. I planted the desert kind that is colorful.
Thank you Heidi!
Blessings! 💜
Thank You Heidi❤️ God Bless You and your Family🙏🏼
We're expanding our herb Harding this year. This will be one we will be adding. Thanks for the information.
Great info as always. Ty 😊
Very cool info, thank you! 🙂
Thanks Heidi 😊 ❤❤
Thanks for the video. I just planted yarrow last fall hoping it comes up, Love from Iowa
When I was growing up, yarrow grew wild in the cattle pasture behind the house. I just thought it was a pretty flower!! Last summer was my first year growing it. Only a couple plants came up, but I got enough flowers and leaves to dehydrate. I'm currently infusing it into some oil to include in my anti-biotic ointment. I thought I would also make something for my husband, who is always nicking himself when shaving! I don't know exactly what to do there, whether an oil/salve, or if there is some way to make a dry bentonite clay-based product. But I did not know all of those things about yarrow! Wow! Thank you so much for telling us all that!❤
Thank you ❤
Blessings 🙏🌸
Good to know it's safe for dogs
Thanks Heidi. Yarrow grows wild here. I gather it every year. Blessings 🙏🙏🙏
Hi Heidi, God is good all the time. Hallelujah give me a.❤❤❤
Good informational video thanks for sharing YAH bless !
This is amazing! I am beginning a weekend introductory herbalism course, and yarrow is one of the herbs that we will be introduced to. Thank you for sharing all of this information!
I love you!!! Thank you for all the videos you make! Yarrow is probably my most favorite herb! ........alongside chamomile because it just smells like no other!!
I don’t have this great herb growing in my yard that I could tell but I am definitely gonna get some seeds for it! We got tons of snow over the weekend so I’m doing chores. God bless.
Yarrow is fantastic for nosebleeds. I would like to know how to use it for this as a dried herb-? for someone who has year round chronic nosebleeds. Thank you, Heidi ❤
We have used it for nosebleeds as as for cuts and scrapes and plan to expand. I mainly use in salve and teas! Thank you Heidi for all you do❣️💞. God be with you❣️💞
Another informative video💕.. I really enjoy growing and using Yarrow. Heidi, do you have a video on the Mica powders you are using? Your make- up is very beautiful while still looking very natural.
Not yet but I will eventually
Hi. Iove your page and all you do. I have a constipated grandchild and is on miralax. She is 7 year old. l am trying to learn how to make kerfer water alone or with natural flavor like blueberry they say is good for the gut Is that possible? I followed you and your husband when you spoke of your thyroid problems. I am not to good searching links but l Can ask my daughter to help me. Thank you. Your page is excellent and so calming.😊
You have mentioned this several times about the Blueberry Kefir and I have directed you to the videos on making water kefir, including the blueberry one. Not sure if you are seeing my replies but I will try one more time here: czcams.com/video/hs8uKjC-xTs/video.html
Here is another one for cold and flu season: czcams.com/video/X_DaVHBV11Y/video.html
And one on Milk Kefir: czcams.com/video/eIPlNgSoNw4/video.html
If I could only have one herb, I would choose yarrow.
Its my all time favorite herb. It'll the knock thecold virus out and it does have sedative properties so it is great with chamomile.
Love you Heidi you're so beautiful and I absolutely love your content 💛 💕 💗
❤
Both my daughters swear by my yarrow tincture for menstrual cramps! Works within minutes!
I grew yarrow for the first time last year and made a tincture, but haven't really used it. I didn't know you could use it for headaches. I get them often and forgot to grow feverfew. I'll have to try the yarrow for my headaches.
Thank you for this video Heidi. Do you know if yarrow is good for bees? Have a good weekend ❤😊❤
Though I do not recall if bees love it as much as my other medicinal flowering herbs, it certainly does not hurt them
@@RainCountryHomestead Thanks again Heidi 🌹🙏🌹
I have a personal question and couldn't find an email, so here goes. Having a parathyroid removed, what herbs would be better to use for getting rid of kidney stones? Any help would be wonderful. Thank you and God bless.
The yarrow I grow has the orange flowers. I add the infused oil to a healing salve I make. Question Heidi...are the benefits the same as the yarrow with white flowers? Thanks
Thank you for this video do you know of any fruits that can help kill a biofilm infection? Your advice would be so helpful, thank you in advance! ❤
I am not familiar with that but I do have a video where I teach people how they can do their own research into such things: czcams.com/video/59r48nUrC90/video.html
❤❤❤❤❤
Does it matter what color or variety of yarrow you use in your different uses?
I was coincidentally gifted a yarrow plant and was so excited until she told me she used lawn fertilizer to grow it. Should I just use this one as decorative purposes or do you think it would be okay to dry and use for skin still?
Heidi, i have had yarrow for many years and i had no idea of all the wonderful things that it can be used for, also do you have a book that you recommend recommend on herbs and their properties?
I cover the ones I have in the beginning of this video: czcams.com/video/kNA5srbQAuQ/video.html
I've had yarrow for several year's but wasn't sure it could be used for medical purposes because it's cranberry color. It's a beautiful plant. So this past summer i dried a bunch of it to be used for like cut's. So far i have not used it . Should I get the white one is that the original one ❤
I do recommend getting white as I personally believe it is the most medicinal but any of them will have similar benefits
@@RainCountryHomestead thank you ..I will get some white for medical. ♥️
❤👍🏻
Yes, I was wondering if you have heard that it’s good for UTIs, and also varicose veins???
I would assume it may help as a tea for UTIs though I cannot say about varicose veins without looking into it.
Can i use yarrow that i bought at Walmart garden center for my flower garden, or does it have to be wild yarrow? Does wild yarrow look like the garden variety?
You can thought wild is going to have more medicinal properties
How you use it to stop bleeding in cuts and scrapes? I keep seeing it listed as a use but cannot find where it says how to do it!
A fresh leaf held onto the cut works great
How many years does it take to fully Mature? We've been growing ours for a year.
I cannot remember if mine flowered in the first year as I have been growing it for so long but it should for sure flower this next season for you
Is it easy to grow? I have seeds but have never grown it.
It can take awhile for it to germinate but once you have it established it is pretty simple and you can even make starts from young shoots coming from the root in the following years. I always start such seeds indoors in small pots first so I can watch them closely
Can you use the yarrow blossoms that have already started to dry up on the plant? Or do you only harvest the vibrant blossoms that aren't spent?
They are likely not going to have as much benefits but the leaves should still be useful
Would it help with neuropathy of the hands and feet?
That would be something to look into.
Barbara O'Neil recommends castor oil packs with cayenne pepper for neuropathy. I honestly believe this could help but you have to identify what the cause of and where the neuropathy originates from. If it is diabetic neuropathy then it is more localized to the site of the neuropathy because of poor circulation starving rhe nerves at the site. Castor oil with cayenne will help increase the circulation there and theoretically help the neuropathy. I happen to have a dead foot due to a messed up lower back that I had surgically repaired. I tried the packs on the foot but never noticed a difference. But I think my loss of nerve function originates from my lower back and is nerve damage there so I'm considering experimenting putting the packs on my back to help my foot. The way I figure, in this new journey into plant based healing, i am my best experimental subject. I hope this helps.
Any color of yarrow? I have yellow, red, pink and fuschia colored yarrow but no white.
White and some pale colors (light pink, light yellow) are the wild varieties meaning they are going to have more benefits than your cultivated darkly colored varieties. This does not mean they cannot be used though
Have you published a book?
Please see this video: czcams.com/video/Mvn2EDBvaSY/video.html
Does it have to be white Yarrow or can it be pink or yellow?
If they are very pale pink or yellow, they should be pretty much the same but if they are darker colors, they will still have medicinal benefits but likely not as much
Do all the colors yarrow comes in have the same medical properties ? ❤❤
Yes but the wild yarrow, which is usually white or very pale pink or yellow, is the most medicinal
Thanks for the answer ! ❤
Is there an herb that dissolves scar tissue?
Castor oil will remove scar but you have to daily rub it in. It does take time. Each case will be different depending how severe. It will work on deep bad scars too, not completely remove but greatly improve appearance. It won't work on stretch marks because that scar is formed from the under part of the skin, from within.
@@GreenGranny Thanks. Greatly appreciated
How is this possible I'm just talking to someone about wanting to know more about Yarrow then this pops up. This keeps happening continously with all different channels I regually watched based on my circumstial needs, so it can't be to do with youtube reccomendations. So are you all watching me or is this The Lord doing it?
I eat it raw like,e vegetables
I don’t heal quickly and often it gets inflamed before healing - from paper cuts on up! Made yarrow and goldenrod salve. I love it!!!! It heals it up right quick.
And perfect timing with many cuts: abandoned kitten we found who now well fed & warm is a rambunctiousness playful rascal with her dagger claws. 🐾🩷🐾
I found some in a field and transplanted it in my garden. I used it as a styptic when I'd trim my dogs nails. Black nails are so scary to trim!
