Blue Yarrow is another wonderful “blue” essential oil that is steam distilled from the flowering tops and leaves of the Yarrow plant. It is also known as Yarrow chamazulene chemotype because during the distillation process chamazulene is produced from mactracin, giving it the rich, blue hue we love. Blue Yarrow Organic is a gentle, yet effective essential oil that is wonderful for the skin, digestive upset, calming the mind and senses, and minor skin injuries. It’s rich, herbaceous scent is known to help during times of worry and to help calm the mind before bedtime.
Use it on rough, reddened skin to help soothe and rejuvenate the skin, as well as minor skin injuries to reduce the redness. This powerful essential oil is so jam-packed with incredible properties that only a little is needed to be effective.

About Yarrow Essential Oil
Yarrow is also known as milfoil, a reference to its feathery appearance from fern-like feathery leaves. It is a perennial herb with a simple stem that can grow up to one meter (3 feet) in height, bearing numerous pale pink flower heads. Yarrow has a long history as a medicinal herb, which goes back to the legend of Achilles who used it for wounds inflicted during the Trojan War. It is often used in cosmetics for dry skin.

To diffuse in a traditional burner, simply fill dish with water and add a few drops of oil on top before lighting the candle. For electrical fragrancers, follow instructions given by the manual. For massage: dilute in a carrier oil and gently massage over the skin. Add a few drops to a handkerchief or inhale directly from the bottle if you are on the go. Dilute in distilled water and pour into spray bottle for an all-natural room fragrancer.

Interesting Yarrow Essential Oil Information
Yarrow Essential Oil is dark blue in color and is similar in hue to that of German Chamomile Essential Oil due to its chamazulene content. Chamazulene is a sesquiterpene that exhibits anti-inflammatory and antispasmodic properties. It is sometimes known as Blue Yarrow Essential Oil.
Aromatically, Yarrow Essential Oil is a bit dull to me, but I don’t find it to be unpleasant whatsoever. It’s somewhat similar in aroma to Blue Tansy Essential Oil, but it’s not as aromatically sweet. Yarrow Essential Oil blends well aromatically with most other essential oils.
Emotionally, I find Yarrow Essential Oil to be a helpful oil to work with when doing introspection and self study. Working quietly with Yarrow Oil can encourage me to take an objective look within without fear of what I may discover about myself. I’ve found yarrow to be a beautiful essential oil to work with for this purpose, and I also love including it within my personal meditation practice.
