Achillea millefolium, commonly known as yarrow, is a species of flowering plant in the Asteraceae family that is native to Europe and Asia but has been introduced throughout much of the world. Yarrow has a long history of medicinal use dating back to ancient times and was even used by soldiers in battle to treat wounds. The plant contains numerous bioactive compounds including flavonoids, terpenes, and alkaloids which are responsible for its anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and antiseptic properties. In addition to its medicinal uses, yarrow also has ornamental value with its attractive white or pink flowers which attract pollinators like bees and butterflies. Yarrow prefers well-drained soil and full sun exposure but can tolerate a wide range of growing conditions making it an easy-to-grow addition to any garden or landscape.
