Use in Skin Care and Remedies

Yarrow is associated with light and warmth. It loves bright, dry mountain regions, where it grows vigorously and is resistant to heat, cold and drought. Even at ground level its leaves, with their filigree form and essential oil content, already resemble flowers. Early in the year they are harbingers of a flower which will develop fully only slowly and late in the year. However, it does survive until winter and retains its allure even in dried bouquets. This growth pattern conveys consistency. Perseverance, warmth, light and dryness are the attributes of the yarrow. Added to these is saltiness, expressed as a high, 48 percent potassium content in its ash. There is something very harmonious about this picture. The yarrow passes on its soothing and drying qualities when it is used to combat inflammatory processes, e.g. in WALA’s Cantharis Blasen Globuli velati* and Cantharis Blasen Inject*, which are beneficial in treating cystitis.
