Yarrow Oil is a member
of the Asteraceae family, it is
a perennial with a single
stem growing up to one metre
high, with fine feathery leaves
and lace like clusters of pink
white flowers. Native to
Eurasia, but found in many
parts of the world.
The herb itself has a
history dating back to Achilles
(hence the latin name) who
is reputed to have used it for
wound healing, a reputation
it has preserved through the
centuries, it is locally known
as 'soldiers wound wort'.
When grown in England on
rich Fenland soils this plant
produces a beautiful oil
which is unique and quite
rare.

the Chamomiles, Yarrow is
used extensively in cosmetic
preparations and skin care.
