What a great idea, Tammy. I love the goldenrod oil (made it after reading about it on your blog and Kiva Rose’s blog) and am planning on making yarrow oil too. More powerful than goldenrod? Wow. Impressive. Can’t wait to try it. Thanks, HM

Thanks for posting about the yarrow/goldenrod combo. I am a newbie to herbal remedies, but the first oil I made was goldenrod oil. I made it into a salve and I use it when I get a stiff/spastic neck. It works wonders.

There’s plenty of goldenrod that grows wild around here, but I will have to plant yarrow in the garden. I grew calendula this year and harvested and dried it all season. And I dried wild-harvested goldenrod. I’ll be making salve out of each and sending it out with holiday gifts to the relatives.

Now I’ll be looking forward to the yarrow in my garden next season.

wow, thanks for the award, Sarah! I’ll try to post it up later today.
Darcey, in what other circumstances do you use yarrow for pain relief? It seems all around good for pain both inside and out, as I’ll also often drink the tea whenever I have that all-over achiness thing going on and it always makes me feel better.
