'Soldiers Woundwort' Stop bleeding, And More! Yarrow, Nosebleed Plant Achillea millefolium

One of the most important plants to grow on your homestead or simply to have the dried tea or herb around is the so-called "Soldiers Woundwort" also known as Yarrow. It has multiple different science-backed medicinal benefits.

A very hardy perennial that has many different colors and is a favorite for many butterflies. Yellow & a multicolored Red yarrow are usually found for sale at big box stores. It is also a great flower for cut arrangements. But why buy this lovely plant, just propagate from a friend's plant and you'll have a field of Yarrow in no time. I grew my initial yarrow from seed; and the seeds are TINY, making it difficult to start. So, once established, now I simply cut the root ball up in the early spring to propagate. Cheers!

A single cup of tea made from yarrow flowers cured me of doctor diagnosed appendicitis within an hour of drinking.

Interesting that this just came out today. Love this! I harvested some St John's wort from a friend's property today. Then I was thinking about all the yarrow I have growing on my property. After doing a little research on it, I noticed your video. I have a 15-year-old mini schnauzer, and I've had him since he was a young puppy. Over the nearly 15 years I have had him, I have used natural remedies on him his whole life. As it turns out, yarrow is safe for dogs for external uses, like if the quick in the toenails is clipped and the need arises to stop the bleeding. However, some sources say it is highly toxic if taken internally, especially wreaking havoc on the digestive system. Others say a small amount can be quite medicinal. I err on the side of caution in this regard because schnauzers have a propensity toward digestive issues, and mine is no exception. Thank you so much for what you are doing on Health and Homestead.

Yep we've got yarrow up here in the Colo Rockies .. Used it on more than one occasion, once to rub on a fresh hand saw wound that was bleeding pretty good, stopped bleeding immediately after I applied it.

Cayenne pepper is very good for clotting.

Interesting subject, I've just started to study herbs and found out that in Sweden this plant is called "Röllika" and also by the name "Grandma Tobacco" so it can also be smoked to reduce asthma symptoms. Thanks for sharing this with us Chad. Al the blessings to you.

This one might line up with St Johns Wort, Moringa Leaf and Chamomile in anxiety reducing and stress relief herbs. The stomach help and calming effects make this tea desirable for daily use, in one's opinion.

The red or pink yarrow roots act like novacaine if chewed on. When it smells like pine you can rub it on your skin for mosquito repellent not as good as termite nest but it does help. It only smells of pine in my area part of the year

Best stuff to grow alongside clover for your lawn. Way more drought tolerant than grass. No watering in my yard during summer, and the yarrow stays soft on the feet, while grass turns hard and brown.
Just trying to see how nutritious it might be to feed to my aquarium pets. Guppies seem to like it, and mystery snails are currently sampling. They all enjoy dandelion leaves too.

Are you referring to the flowers or leaves for these uses?
My one little yarrow plant became invasive very quickly!

I've often wondered if yarrow would be beneficial for radiation sickness which causes internal bleeding (bruising) and ultimately death...

[plumberrygardenpatch]

Is the dried plant useful to stop bleeding also or is it only used fresh for that?

[stephaniegee]

I planted this on purpose. I still don't know how to use most of my herbs...

I’ve just cut my finger tip deeply and looked for a video on which plant staunches bleeding.
I’d forgotten it was yarrow . It really does work - l chewed it like you said and squeezed the juice on the wound.
It feels » tight » but a lot less painful - in fact just a dull throbbing.
I must admit l dowsed it with colloidal silver first to disinfect, but this herb works wonders!
I’m now going to watch the rest of your informative video with a leaf wrapped round my finger - we have loads growing in the grass.
Thank you .
