Make a Yarrow Leaf or Blossom Poultice - PEP BB medicine.sand.poultice.yarrow

Here is my submission for the Natural Medicine Aspect - Sand for Straw - Make a Yarrow Leaf Poultice BB.

I harvested Yarrow leaf and blossom at Wheaton Labs during the PTJ 2021.  Some of it was dried in the solar dehydrator and I started a tincture and made a poultice.  The poultice instructions say to finish it so once I did, I put it in a glass jar in the freezer until I needed it.

To document the completion of the BB, I have provided the following:
 - your yarrow leaves and/or blossoms being harvested
 - your poultice in mid-preparation
 - your completed poultice

Without a doubt, Yarrow is one of the most powerful healing herbs in my collection. Thankfully, none in my family need it at the moment, but having it on hand will be a blessing in the future.

My yarrow is blooming, and I made a poultice to put on my irritated leg. I used mostly blossoms with a few leaves, and I ground them with my mortar and pestle.

I made a poultice from my yarrow blossoms. My husband had an injury to his toe so I applied it to that.

Had an injured quail so I thought I'd try to see if we can help him with a yarrow poultice.

I wasn't able to bandage it on and keep it on there, but maybe the little bit of time we did get it to stay might have helped.

I needed a poultice for a cold sore. Yarrow with a little lemonbalm added for extra potency (I'll switch to comfrey when the focus switches from "damage control" to "healing")

I got a boo-boo, but I remembered it was an opportunity to get a BB! Now you get to see my dirty feet... I noticed my toe was bleeding though I didn't notice when it happened. Over to the yarrow patch I went and grabbed a few leaves to make a spit poultice. I chewed the leaves up and applied to the wound. Yarrow stops bleeding pretty fast but I tied it on with a turmeric leaf since it was laying nearby. Thanks Yarrow!
