Yarrow

Yarrow is a very well-known plant that we cannot leave out of consideration. The Latin name of this perennial herb - Achillea millefolium - reminds us of the mythical hero Achilles, after whom the plant was named. It is said that he allegedly treated his injuries, which he suffered in the Trojan War, with yarrow. In our country, this herb is known as "goose tongue", "rabbit bread", "Achilles' herb", "žebřík" or "mouse tail". Its main benefits for our health include a positive effect on the vascular system and support of the proper function of the digestive system, and it also has calming and pleasant effects on the throat, pharynx and vocal cords.
