When worn, yarrow protects the wearer, and when held in the hand, it stops all fear and grants courage. A bunch of dried yarrow hung over a bed ensures a love lasting at least seven years. Carrying yarrow is said to bring love, as well as friendship. It draws attention to those you most want to see.

My personal favorite use of yarrow is in a cold tea: equal parts yarrow, elder flower, and peppermint.
