The name Yarrow is a corruption of the Anglo-Saxon name for the plant - gearwe; the Dutch, yerw. It is thought that the genus name stems from the legend of Achilles, who was said to have used Yarrow during the Trojan war to stem the bloodflow of wounded soldiers. It has also been called Herba Militaris (the Military herb) and it is probably this history that has led to Yarrow being used as a herb of courage and strength. You can wear it to ward off fear and it can grant the wearer the courage to face the truth of a situation, and bring illumination.
