Aah, yarrow!
This is one of my favorites!
This heling herb, contains so many memories of a long time ago. When I was being trained by the White Witch of Boom and Herborist Doris, they have given me the base of alternative healing, that I now use daily in my self-sufficient life in Hungary. Since I live here, I have been collecting, drying and grinding all the herbs that are in my reach. Afterwards, I store them in glass jars with labels that contain basic information of use.
It is important for me that my family members have free access to these herbs, so they can use them when needed. This way I teach my unschoolers, to sink these habits in their intuition, so that this knowledge can pass on. Last but not least, anyone who has the right knowledge can teach you the basics. As I got my base from a herbal witch. But it has been a practice for 20 years, to use these herbs as a health product in our daily lives.
