Achillea Millefolium is the botanical name based on the legend of Achilles, the Greek hero who used it for healing wounds of soldiers in battle.
The genus Achillea has about 140 herbs with pink or white flowers; these shrubs grow to about three feet and have pinnate leaves. The leaves and flowers are distilled to produce yarrow essential oil. The oil is dark blue in color and has fresh, sharp and woody fragrance. The other names for yarrow are soldier’s woundwort, old man’s pepper, cammok, green arrow, nose bleed, dog daisy, and thousand leaf clover.
Yarrow essential oil helps in reducing stress, hypertension, and blood pressure.

Chinese aromatherapy was also linked to massage and accupressure
