Yarrow is a native, perennial plant that's common in Northern Saskatchewan and can be found in a variety of habitats, including woods, and roadsides.
Yarrow has potential health benefits. Yarrow may help with:
- Inflammation - Yarrow contains tannins that may reduce inflammation in the liver and other parts of the body.
- Antioxidants - Yarrow tea's antioxidants may help protect against oxidative damage.
- Insulin resistance - A mouse study found that yarrow extract may improve insulin responses.
Boreal Heartland markets Yarrow as a seasoning. It has an earthy and bittersweet flavour and is particularly good with meats, poultry, and fish.
Further research into the medicinal uses of Yarrow is needed to better understand definitively the plant’s health benefits. There is not enough scientific information available to guarantee safety for pregnant and breastfeeding women.
