Yarrow 10 % oil

Yarrow essential oil has a warm, herbaceous yet fresh scent that radiates calm and harmony. The oil is extracted from the flowering tops and leaves of Achillea millefolium, a plant that grows wild across large parts of Europe and Asia in sunny grasslands, verges and mountain slopes.

The Latin name refers to the Greek hero Achilles, who, according to legend, used yarrow during his military campaigns. Over the centuries, the plant has thus come to symbolise strength, courage and recovery. Its delicate, pinnate leaves appear to consist of thousands of tiny leaflets, from which the plant derives its Dutch name.

Steam distillation produces a precious essential oil with a deeply spicy and slightly sweet aroma. Depending on its composition, the oil can have a beautiful deep blue colour, derived from the natural compound chamazulene, which is formed during distillation.

View of humanity

The Yarrow type is sensitive and empathetic. This person often has a keen sense of what is happening around them and easily picks up on other people’s moods. As a result, it can sometimes be difficult to remain in touch with their own feelings and boundaries. Yarrow helps you stay more in touch with yourself. It encourages you to make choices with confidence, guided by your own heart, without losing yourself in the expectations of others.

Mental

The scent of yarrow brings calm when thoughts and emotions are in turmoil. It helps you gain a clearer perspective and encourages you to look at yourself with kindness. If you’re trying to juggle lots of things at once or are sensitive to stimuli from your surroundings, the warm, herbal scent can help foster a sense of balance and harmony. It promotes inner calm and helps you to be consciously present in the moment.

Yarrow is a lovely oil to diffuse during moments of reflection, meditation or whenever you need a calm, balanced atmosphere.

Spiritual

Yarrow is regarded as an oil that helps you conserve your own energy. It encourages you to be mindful of your boundaries whilst remaining open to connecting with others.

Affirmation: "I remain true to myself and experience peace, balance and confidence in everything I do"

Physical
