It has been used for centuries by various cultures for its purported medicinal properties, including its use as a remedy for wounds, fevers, and gastrointestinal issues. In addition to its medicinal uses, Red Yarrow has been valued for its ornamental beauty and is often cultivated in gardens for its vibrant flowers, which attract pollinators like butterflies and bees.
