The genus \u003cem\u003eAchillea\u003c\/em\u003e is named after the Greek hero Achilles, who is said to have treated his wounded soldiers with the plant. Yarrow is toxic to animals, however it has proved medicinally useful to humans for various ailments such as skin rash, nausea\/vomiting, and as a fever reducer. Yarrow works well in a lot of DIY tea blends because it is a well-known blood coagulant. It does wonders for nosebleeds and heavy menstrual cycles. However, it contains salicylic acid and can therefore be dangerous if taken with other blood thinning medications, such as aspirin, clopidogrel (Plavix), and warfarin (Coumadin).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003chr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Read more about Achillea Seeds (Yarrow):\u003cp\u003e-\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Achillea_millefolium\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003e Wikipedia - Achillea millefolium \u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c!--split--\u003e","brand":"Mountain Valley Seed Co.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":35360825344162,"sku":"30472","price":19.77,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0444\/6706\/0898\/products\/achillea-summer-pastels-mix-wm_700.jpg?v=1595854332","url":"https:\/\/bestchoiceproducts13-com.myshopify.com\/products\/achillea-summer-pastels-mix-flower-seeds","provider":"bestchoiceproducts13.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
