Guest guest Posted August 13, 2001 Report Share Posted August 13, 2001 Yeah, it kinda threw me when you said little clusters, as yarrow looks more like miniature hydrangea flowers. I wonder if Tansy would work on the earlier mite problem?? Probably not safe enough. In Health, Steve ----------------------------- Thank you Steve. That's possible. I'm going to look at it more closely. I found another one of my books and it may be Tansy. If it turns out to be Tansy, I think I'll just get rid of it because I doubt that I'll ever use Tansy.

Guest guest Posted August 14, 2001 Report Share Posted August 14, 2001 There were so many warnings about Tansy in the book that I decided I didn't need it. It also could cause abortion and even death, although at 65 I'm not worried about abortion. I'd be afraid to use it on the mites because too much internally can cause death. Sometimes even external use will too. Marti bigbird3969 wrote: Yeah, it kinda threw me when you said little clusters, as yarrow looks more like miniature hydrangea flowers.

Guest guest Posted August 14, 2001 Report Share Posted August 14, 2001 Yarrow comes in many colors, but the wild ones are usually white or yellow. However what you are describing may be tansy. It is very similar to Yarrow. It is usable as a medicine, but I'd only recommend that it be used under supervision of a knowlegable practitioner.

Guest guest Posted August 20, 2001 Report Share Posted August 20, 2001 This is very surprising. I have not heard of people using Yarrow extensively like this without damage. My primary source which warns of danger from yarrow is the old Jeanne Rose herbal, which has been a very helpful book. I believe Michael Moore also has a warning in his book, and i have seen a few others scattered in various volumes in my library. I have personally known a few people out here who tried yarrow internally and got fairly sick. The usual damage seems to center on the female reproductive system. However, if there are imbalances there, the herb has been known among my acquaintances to be very effective, but only in very small or dilute doses.

I looked up Yarrow in Medicinal Plants of the Mountain West by Michael Moore and he has no warnings whatsoever about Yarrow and recommends it similarly to Dr. Christopher.
