Yarrow has been used historically for medicinal purposes due to its astringent properties and mild laxative effect. It has been used to heal wounds, stop bleeding, treat nosebleeds, and as an analgesic. The plant is also used in traditional Native American medicine for various ailments such as toothaches, earaches, and throat infections. Yarrow can be used to combat soil erosion due to its drought resistance.
