Midsummer! Now in July, the abundance of wild herbs is truly inexhaustible. And is there anything more beautiful than a wild flower meadow? Is it because of this area that so many new plant friends suddenly appear, or simply because of my intensified search? Valerian, meadowsweet, red clover, honey clover, coltsfoot, St. John's wort and many more grow and bloom happily next to each other. Yarrow is one of the wild herbs that you are sure to find everywhere. Once you get to know it, it will reappear on every patch of lawn. Venus's eyebrow grows like delicate down on the lawn. It develops its full contradictory and magnificent beauty on fence and path edges, in meadows, in gardens and on gravel heaps. I have a beautiful ornamental yarrow in the garden. It is great for drying to decorate a room, but it is not as medicinal as its wild relative. A little tip for all the men among you: Yarrow is one of the herbs that is considered a classic medicinal herb for women, but at the same time has always been a herb for men. The herb of soldiers and carpenters heals bleeding wounds and cuts. Here are the promised recipes: Medicinal tea for bleeding: 2 parts each of bloodroot and cinquefoil to 1 part each of yarrow and lady's mantle, let it steep for 5 minutes, drink in small sips throughout the day. Heart wine (according to Maria Treben), calms and strengthens: 2 handfuls each of yarrow and lemon balm (fresh), 2 tablespoons of fresh finely chopped valerian root, 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon in 1 liter of red wine, let it steep for 3 weeks, strain and fill into dark bottles. Baths for rheumatism, kidney and bladder problems and abdominal complaints: Boil 1/4 liter of strong yarrow tea and add to the bath water. Bathe for 20 minutes. Compresses made from freshly mashed herbs: for wounds and insect bites A yarrow cure: drink ½ cup of fresh yarrow juice every day for 4 weeks, avoid wine and coffee.
