Yarrow, derived from the plant Achillea millefolium, has a long-standing reputation in both folk medicine and magical practices. Traditionally associated with warriors and healers alike, yarrow has been used for centuries to stop bleeding, heal wounds, and fortify the body, earning it the nickname “soldier’s woundwort.”

In magical herb lore, Yarrow is strongly associated with protection, courage, and healing, reflecting its historical use on battlefields and in survival medicine. It is also commonly worked with in divination and psychic practices, where it is believed to sharpen perception, strengthen intuition, and protect the practitioner during spiritual work. Its dual association with Mars and Venus gives it a unique balance of strength and sensitivity, making it useful in both defensive magic and emotionally informed spellwork.

Yarrow has traditionally been used as a styptic to stop bleeding and support wound healing, as well as for its anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties. It has also been used to support circulation and ease minor pain associated with inflammation.
