I felt achy and like I might be getting sick this morning. My kids have had fevers this week and my daughter still has one today. I made yarrow tea for her today and I had a cup as well. I immediately felt less achy and stronger all over. I think it has a drying effect too.
Here is the recipe:
Yarrow Tea
2 teaspoons yarrow flower
1/2 teaspoon lemongrass
1 stick cinnamon
2 cups nearly boiling water
Steep 10-15 minutes.
Add 1 Tablespoon lemon juice and 2 teaspoons honey

What type of drying effect? Do you think it could impact milk supply?
ReplyDeleteI don't know if it could affect milk supply. I just noticed that my mucus drainage dried up and I felt the effect throughout my respritory system.
ReplyDeleteThis article lists yarrow as an herb that can dry up your milk supply.

Thanks for asking as that is definitely an important consideration for me too!
