    Thanks! We’ve got plenty of yarrow along our tree lines.

    Herbal legend has it that the yarrow plant (Achillea millefolium) was named after Achilles, the Greek hero who used yarrow to stop the bleeding wounds of his soldiers during the Trojan War in 1200 BC.

    Great stuff. The Human Path and Herbal Medics have more of this learnin. Grid down, the only medicine you may have may come from a field or off a tree. This could also be a revenue stream as well. Again, great stuff!
