In 2024, the International Herb Association recognized yarrow (Achillea millefolium) as Herb of the Year for its wealth of uses in traditional medicine. This multitalented herb apparently does it all: boosting immunity, repelling insects, boasting anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, combating bacteria, and more. When steeped in water, yarrow tea can treat inflammation, heal wounds, and lower stress, among other perks.
