Yarrow Herbal Oil // Wound Healer + Joints/ Rheumatic Pains // Psychic Protection + Threshold Work
One of the first plants I connected with on my herbal journey. Back home, Yarrow is called Krwawnik, which translates to “bleed”, or to staunch bleeding. They are a sacred Plantcestors who have walked with our great-grandmothers, healers, midwives, witches. Bundles of yarrows were hung above doorways or woven into charms for protection, tucked under pillows to support dreamtime + crossing the threshold to safeguard the body + soul, as well as in love divination + fertility rights, esp around midsummer night.
Here in the UK, Yarrow grows everywhere - along roadsides, in meadows, even in woodlands. They are so beautiful carrying the medicine of resilience, sensitivity + protection all together.
Yarrow is ruled by Venus + Fire element, with a strong affinity for the blood and a long list of medicinal uses + actions. Yarrow affects many systems in the body and carries many complexities + paradoxes, for instance, they can bring on menses and also stop heavy bleeding. They may help with fever, inflammation, infections, and also move stagnation helping us flow with ease, bringing this harmony. Topically, Yarrow is beautiful for achy joints + muscles, rheumatic pain, bruising, minor cuts, wounds, as well as belly rub around the moon time.
Yarrow is often called the Wounded Healer or Wounded Warrior, which goes back to the story of Achilles and Chiron representing the archetypal dynamics that the medicine of Yarrow mirrors strongly, esp. for the Soul. They offer protection, boundaries, courage + clarity, esp. when we are navigating liminal spaces. As we witness collective and personal endings, Yarrow holds us so deeply and walks with us through endings, grief or overwhelm. They root us in our warrior heart - helping us lead and speak from the heart, not from the ego or mind. Yarrow teaches us where harmony is needed, including in the ways we may unconsciously uphold systems of harm. For me, Yarrow is a plant for all who are in service to others, activists, healers - those who have faced their sacred wounds, transmuted pain into wisdom, and chosen to carry medicine forward.
Yarrow helps us release what is not ours to carry, including ancestral patterns. For those who identify as empaths or highly sensitive, Yarrow is a beautiful teacher of boundaries, showing us how to establish strong and loving boundaries, also not crossing others.
This oil is deep green and fragrant, with a strong herbal scent. It feels like a blanket of protection + discernment. Shielding from unwanted energies.
I love using this oil after a bath or shower, as a ritual of anointing and protection before dream time. It’s especially helpful when I feel scattered or overwhelmed. Sometimes I massage it gently into my womb space, especially around my moon cycle. Other times I begin at my feet and work upward, or anoint my temples, shoulders, and neck when I need to return to my body. I often use it during meditation, for dreamwork, or when navigating thresholds.
There’s no right or wrong way. Take a breath. Connect with the oil. Let the spirit of Yarrow meet you exactly where you are.
Ingredients: Homegrown Yarrow flowers and leaves, organic cold pressed olive oil, a small amount of alcohol to support medicinal extraction.
