Guest guest Posted August 13, 2001 Report Share Posted August 13, 2001 When I moved to my property there was a plant I thought was Yarrow. However, the flowers do no match any of my pictures of Yarrow. Each flower in a cluster looks like a miniature yellow mum. There are no white petals like in the picture. Any ideas?

Guest guest Posted August 14, 2001 Report Share Posted August 14, 2001 Yes that was tansy dig it out. It grows around here like a weed.

It is usable as a medicine, but I'd only recommend that it be used under supervision of a knowledgeable practitioner.

Guest guest Posted August 18, 2001 Report Share Posted August 18, 2001 Hi, Its late here and I havnt got through all my emails,(176 of them!) but theres a few I wanted to reply to. I use yarrow tea with peppermint and elder, to bring down a fever and bring out a sweat- and i have made a glycerine tincture of them for my kids. My daughter was last week quite sick with a high fever which is rare for her (she is 7, never had antibiotics, hardly gets sick). After 2 days of burning, I felt it was enough, she was becoming delerious, so I gave her several doses of the tincture over a few hours and she went back to sleep, and the next day woke up bright as a button and wanting to go to school. Yarrow is wonderful but all herbs are 'drugs' so should be used with care. love peela --- Fanbelt <fanbelt wrote: > That is a bunch of #########.

Guest guest Posted August 19, 2001 Report Share Posted August 19, 2001 Hi Peela. Did you get all moved? I won't ask about getting staightened up. When you make a tincture for children, do you make it with glycerin because it tastes better, or is there some other reason?
