Other traditional uses:

• Often used as a topical infusion or wash for the skin
• Can be incorporated into herbal baths for full-body support
• Sometimes blended with other herbs to soften its bitterness and round out its effects

Pairs Well With:

These combinations make yarrow more approachable for daily use.
