Achillea Millefolium: The Healing Powers of Yarrow and September Green Living
Achillea Millefolium, commonly known as yarrow, takes centre stage in September as a resilient aromatic perennial belonging to the Asteraceae family.
With its delicate, feathery foliage and dense corymbs of white or pink blossoms blooming from May to October, yarrow is a champion for garden biodiversity, attracting vital pollinating bees and butterflies. Long prized in herbal medicine for its anti-inflammatory, cicatrizing, and digestive properties, it is widely enjoyed in soothing infusions and traditional digestive liqueurs.
As autumn approaches, the Green Witch reminds us to protect our trees and nature: every living plant purifies our air and nurtures our shared future.
Curated by Marina Boschetti (La Strega Verde).
