Gorgeous Blue Yarrow essential oil, organically steam distilled from the flowering tops of Achillea millefolium grown in Bulgaria.
Yarrow oil gets its intense blue color from the sesquiterpene Chamazulene, which is only present in a few floral essential oils.
The scent is fresh, almost woody, a sweet herbaceous green floral. There are some mild camphorous medicinal-smelling tones which quickly dissipate, leaving the sweetness behind.
Yarrow has been used in herbal medicine for millenia, and the oil is prized for use on irritated skin and for soothing hot, inflamed conditions.
In aromtherapy, yarrow is used to heal and uplift, improving confidence and stability of mood.
