- YARROW EXTRACT
Yarrow (Achillea millefolium) is a native plant to the Northern Hemisphere. The plant has a long history

such as rashes and abrasions, calm inflamed skin. In Northern Europe yarrow tea is well known folk
remedy to treat cold, as the herb has diaphoretic properties.
Yarrow is attributed with astringent, or cleansing, tonic, and stimulant effects, and is antimicrobial,
providing protection against infection.
The name Achillea is derived from mythical Greek character, Achilles, who reportedly carried it with his
army to treat battle wounds.
