Yarrow is a master of discernment and a guardian of boundaries. It tends to the barriers of your soul, your energy field and your physical body. A protective spirit , a fierce warrior and a corporeal lover, Yarrow encourages you to root down into your body. With an affinity for the skin (our body’s physical boundary) Yarrow is a legendary wound healer. It staunches bleeding, fights infection, and tightens tissue. It acts similarly with the energy field, making sure not to much of other’s energies get in, making this a great medicine for empaths and those with issues defending their own boundaries and limitations. It also ensures that not to much of our own energies escape, leaving us unattached and disconnected from the body.
