We find ourselves in uncertain times. We are bombarded with news about a difficult situation. The possibilities of social life are temporarily muted. We are all balancing and trying to maintain balance. Harmony, calmness and a sense of security are three elements that help us return two wonderful herbs yarrow a lemon balm, especially their precious essential oils and floral waters or hydrolates.
Protective Yarrow – Achillea Millefolium
Did you know that its Latin name, Achillea Millefolium, is named after the legendary warrior Achilles from the mythical Trojan War. This brave warrior used yarrow to treat bleeding wounds right on the battlefield. Its qualities will certainly be appreciated by men today. They don't like to talk about it, but hemorrhoids can really bother them. Yarrow itself has strong astringent effects. You've probably noticed that it is added to ointments and baths to treat this problem. Don't be afraid to try a sitz bath with 1 tablespoon of yarrow hydrolate/flower water instead of a decoction of the dried herb.
Another symbolism is captured in ancient China, where the yarrow stem was recognized as a symbol of harmony. Its stem is closed and hard on the surface and flexible and hollow inside. Ideal balance. Thanks to this, it helps us in crisis life situations and changes (including hormonal), supports a sense of security. It is sought after by women with hormonal imbalance, problems with the menstrual cycle, and menopause.
