KICK tough-to-treat wounds to the CURB with this herbal healing hero

You spent your summers as a kid running around with skinned knees and elbows…

And your mother probably chased after you to slap a band-aid on your latest “boo-boo.”

It was as though NOTHING could faze you…

And you’d heal just as quickly as you could get patched up.

If you fell off your bicycle… or flat on your face… you got right back up and shook it off.

But nowadays, if you’ve experienced a wound that’s difficult to heal… or just WON’T go away…

You know how disabling it can be.

And if your blood is particularly thin… maybe because of some meds or even supplements you’re taking…

You might be worrying about what happens if bleeding starts and you can’t STOP it.

Thank goodness there’s a way to help wounds heal FASTER… and CURB excessive bleeding.

Believe it or not, it’s a calming herb that’s a cousin of chamomile!

A first-aid flower

In Germany, legend has it that shepherds discovered the healing properties of the yarrow plant (Achillea millefolium) when they observed their wounded sheep getting better after eating it.

The sheep herders nicknamed this daisy-like, flowering plant the “sheep healer,” or “Schafgarbe.”

But its medicinal history didn’t start there.

Yarrow could date all the way back to the Trojan War and its hero, Achilles… more than 3,000 years ago!

According to the ancient Greek text the Iliad by Homer, soldiers created a kind of herbal armor with yarrow so they wouldn’t bleed to death from arrow wounds.

Yarrow continued to be used as a “military herb” on the battlefield… primarily as wound-packing material… until at least the Civil War.

And it’s still sometimes called “wound wort!”

Now, your days of military service are probably long over…

And the most dangerous weapon you may be wielding these days is probably no bigger than a steak knife.

But that doesn’t mean you’re NOT in the crosshairs for bleeding.

For instance, major hemorrhage is a MAJOR risk factor in patients diagnosed with chronic kidney disease. Fortunately, research shows how yarrow may beat back their increased tendency to bleed (a.k.a. uremic bleeding).

That’s not all…

Because if you’re a little on the older side… or you’re taking care of someone who is… the wounds you could be worrying about may not be from battle…

But they could be some of the TOUGHEST wounds to heal!

I’m talking about bed sores… and even ulcers.

Not only diabetic ulcers on the legs and feet… but also, according to a 2015 study out of Iran, mouth ulcers resulting from chemotherapy.

The good news is that studies have shown how yarrow flowers, leaves, and stems… basically any part that’s above the ground… can help.

You see, yarrow isn’t JUST a hemostatic – or “anti-bleeding” – herb.

Some traditional medicine practitioners consider it practically a “cure-all” for wounds, as its properties include…

• antimicrobial, to fight and clear infections
• anti-inflammatory, to relieve swelling, redness, and burning
• hypotensive, to ease pressure building up especially in smaller blood vessels, and
• regenerative, as it helps renew damaged skin by stimulating the growth of new cells.

And it’s safe enough for you to apply DIRECTLY to the affected area!

Look for steam-distilled essential oil, which you’ll need to dilute with a carrier oil (like coconut or jojoba) for topical use.

If you can get your hands on some fresh yarrow cuttings, you can wrap your wounds in a compress that contains them. Look for poultice recipes online.

You can also find yarrow herbal supplements in capsule form, which help strengthen and tonify your vessels right down to your capillaries.

A typical dosage ranges from 350 to 650 mg daily.
