Common Name: Common Yarrow Scientific Name: Achillea millefolium Yurok Name: Mechaanep' Common Yarrow is known by many names throughout it's range, which includes North America and Eurasia. For thousands of years, people have used it for food, medicine, and as a precursor to hops in brewing traditions. Yarrow also has a role in the European witchcraft and Chinese I Ching divination. The genus Achillea got its name from the legend of Achilles, who is said to have brought yarro...w to battle with him as a treatment for wounds. Many of the common names for yarrow in the Western tradition stem from its ability to stop or start bleeding. Here are a few of the dozens of folkloric names given to the plant: Photos: Brett Whaley, Jim Morefield on Flickr Sources: Wikipedia - Common Yarrow
