In this chat with Guido Masé, one of my herbal heroes, you'll hear the many, many gifts of Yarrow. Then, we get a glimpse into what's on Guido's mind these days. This conversation is a real treat. I love how Guido weaves together many seemingly different pieces of herbalism, whether it's chemical constituents, heart centered healing, or even mythology and folklore. He also perfectly summarizes why I love being an herbalist. You'll also receive instant access to a FREE recipe card with Guido's instructions for how to make yarrow powder from the fresh plant. I love this recipe for many reasons. One is that yarrow powder is a truly wondrous healer for cuts and scrapes. This is one remedy you'll never want to be without! Another is that rather than letting any part of the plant go to waste, Guido also shares how you can process and use the yarrow stalks to cast the I Ching, a traditional Chinese oracular system.
