Yarrow, or Achillea millefolium, is an herb long used in herbal medicine. It is a flowering plant that grows wild in Europe and Asia and has been transplanted to the Americas. Yarrow has long been used in cases of fever, as it encourages perspiration, which can cool the body and help remove waste products through the skin. Yarrow was once a popular ingredient in salads. It has a sweet, pungent or astringent flavor that adds piquancy to blander greens.
