Yarrow Essential Oil - Living Libations

Yarrow Essential Oil is a botanical blessing distilled from the flowering tops of wild yarrow growing freely in Bulgaria. This legendary blue oil is rich in chamazulene, a cooling compound revered for calming inflamed skin, soothing frazzled emotions, and restoring equilibrium to body and mind.

Steeped in ancient lore, Yarrow has long been associated with protection and resilience. Myth tells us that Achilles anointed himself with Yarrow oil to shield against battle wounds—everywhere except his heel. Today, this potent plant ally remains a trusted tonic for skin, lymph, lungs, and emotional balance.

Traditional Use & Aromatic Lore

Native American herbalists used Yarrow extensively for fevers, respiratory support, digestion, and wound care. In Chinese tradition, Yarrow was considered sacred—its stalks forming the divination sticks of the I Ching, symbolizing perfect balance between yin and yang.

In modern aromatherapy, Yarrow is prized for maintaining emotional equilibrium, especially during times of hormonal change, exhaustion, or stress.

“Yarrow oils are often of deep blue color, because of a high chamazulene content.”

“It is a fragrance for dreaming, for visionary experiences… while being protected and nurtured.”
~ Valerie Ann Worwood
