Yarrow is a medicinal edible. Its leaves can be consumed raw or cooked and are a great addition to salads. Both leaves and flowers make a great tea to help relieve symptoms of colds, coughs, and flu. Leaves can also be included in smoothies. Yarrow is nutritious (containing flavonoids which have anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, anti-tumor, and antioxidant properties) and a wonderful plant to add to the diet. It can improve digestion and help ease heartburn and acid reflux. However, it's recommended to consume in small quantities, especially when first introducing it.
Alternatively, a bunch of yarrow in a vase brings much beauty to a space!
