Medicinal Plants: Yarrow & Comfrey Root in under 1 minute

In this third video in my series on medicinal plants, let’s talk about yarrow. It grows all over my yard and when it blooms in the spring, its flower is especially beneficial as a medicinal plant. It helps stop bleeding, it boosts your immune system by decreasing the amount of bad bacteria in the gut and by stimulating bile flow which helps wash the small intestine. Yarrow has antiviral properties and acts as an anti-inflammatory. You can infuse 1 to 2 teaspoons in a cup, take daily capsules of 250-500mg, or apply 3-4 ml of a tincture 3-4 times a day.

About comfrey: this plant has long been used for healing wounds. It also improves 2nd degree burns. You want to make an ointment out of the root and apply it topically for pain or inflammation. It’s also great to add to your compost to break things down.
