In Chinese Medicine: With its mixed sweet, green and pungent qualities, Yarrow both nourishes and moves the Blood while mobilising the Qi. It suits complex Lower Jiao presentations combining Blood deficiency with stuck Blood and Qi, and its tropism for the Lower Jiao is described as stronger in the oil than in the herbal tincture or infusion.

I haven’t made a hydrosol with this wonderful oil yet. I’m strictly inhaling it right now: grounds me. Feeling of stability through my viscera. It’s my favorite absolute so far.
