Its effects are mostly astringent, which make yarrow helpful for firming and tightening tissues. Yarrow nutritionally supports the mucous membranes and has a soothing effect on the digestive system. It is closely related to chamomile, both botanically and chemically.

Yarrow has been used extensively to stop bleeding of all kinds, externally
and internally for wounds, sores, rashes and piles.
It is also used to encourage sweating and is found in arthritis, pancreas,
blood purifier, and infection herb formulas.
Yarrow (especially the warm tea) encourages sweating which can reduce
fevers and take pressure off the kidneys and help remove toxins from the
body. Many add peppermint to the tea to improve taste.
Animal studies have shown that yarrow protects the liver from chemical damage
and can be used to treat hepatitis.
Yarrow is a favorite emotional healer for consulting herbalists who are
sensitive and tend to take on the problems of their clients.
Catnip, Chamomile, CC-A, Lymph Gland Cleanse (IGS II) or Lymph Gland Cleanse
HY (HIGS II) may sometimes be used instead.
Yarrow can produce darkened urine. This is not a problem.
