  • Western Yarrow Achillea Millefolium Var. Occidentalis a Native Forb
    United States Department of Agriculture NATURAL RESOURCES CONSERVATION SERVICE Plant Materials Technical Note No. MT-103 September 2014 PLANT MATERIALS TECHNICAL NOTE WESTERN YARROW Achillea millefolium var. occidentalis A Native Forb for Conservation Use in Montana and Wyoming Susan R. Winslow, Agronomist, NRCS Plant Materials Center, Bridger, Montana Western yarrow flowers General Description Western yarrow is a native, herbaceous perennial in the Aster Family. It is a very common wildflower that grows erect from creeping rootstocks, to a height mostly 10 to 36 inches tall. The leaves of western yarrow are lacy and fern-like in appearance. They are finely dissected into numerous, short and narrow divisions not over 0.04 inch wide--millefolium is derived from the Latin roots mill(i) meaning one thousand and foli(um) meaning a leaf. The basal foliage is up to 10 inches long, with leaves along the flowering stalk longest at the base and progressively shorter up the stem. The entire plant is densely covered in long, soft, woolly hairs. Western yarrow has a very distinctive aroma, similar to chamomile (Anthemis) or dog fennel (Dysodiopsis), and is especially noticeable, when crushed. The somewhat rounded terminal clusters of flower heads are normally white to pale pink in color and have an extended bloom period from May to September. The extremely small fruit is a whitish, flattened achene, with compressed margins that are grayish in color. There is considerable variation within native populations across the United States with up to seven varieties recognized by taxonomists. Western yarrow should not be confused with the introduced, invasive species, common yarrow Achillea millefolium.

    Top 50 Medicinal Plants Medicinal plants to create an Apothecary-style garden to help our pollinators List Curated by Thomas McBride From research data collected and collated at the National Botanic Garden of Wales NB: Butterflies and Moths are not studied at the NBGW so any data on nectar plants beneficial for them is taken from Butterfly Conservation Introduction At the National Botanic Garden of Wales, we feel it is important to recognise the rich history of botany and plant science we have in Wales and around the UK. One such way to display this is through a living museum of plants once used, and some still used, to treat various ailments and maintain good health. These medicinal plants can be grown together to create a physic garden or apothecaries garden; such as the one we have here. Apothecaries were herbal medicine specialists before the event of modern medicine. The apothecaries garden is split into sections depending on the usage of the plants. If you would also like to create one, you can use this model to help you. Almost all the selected plants are found in our Apothecaries Garden and many are also culinary herbs or ornamentals found elsewhere in the garden. Most of the plants used are native to or naturalised in Western Europe. Garden The Apothecaries The Apothecaries Garden Muscular-Skeletal Digestive Ear, Nose & Throat Nervous Glandular Circulatory Urinary Welsh Natives Cutaneous (Skin) (Used by local Apothecaries) The Circulatory System The Respiratory System The Circulatory system comprises The Respiratory system comprises the Lungs, the Heart, blood and blood vessels; Trachea (Windpipe) and connects directly to arteries, veins and capillaries.

The purpose of this research was to determine the effects of yarrow on the epithelization of the lower leg venous ulcers. The study included 39 patients with venous leg ulcers. They were divided into two groups: the first (experimental) group of patients were treated with an ointment containing 7.5% of yarrow extract. In the second (control) group, saline solution dressings were applied to ulcers, within the period of three weeks. In the experimental group, at the beginning of the therapy, the total surface of all the ulcers was 44736 mm2. After three weeks, the total surface of all the ulcers was 27000 mm2 (a decrease of 39.64%). In the control group, at the beginning of the therapy, the total surface of all the ulcers was 46116 mm2.

  • 23 Medicinal Plants the Native Americans Used on a Daily Basis
    23 Medicinal Plants the Native Americans Used on a Daily Basis Native Americans are renowned for their medicinal plant knowledge. It is rumored they first started using plants and herbs for healing after watching animals eat certain plants when they were sick. In order to protect these plants from over harvesting, the medicine men used to pick every third plant they found. The Native Americans had a spiritual view of life, and to be healthy, a person had to have a sense of purpose and follow a righteous, harmonious, and balanced path in life. They believed some illnesses were life lessons the person needed to learn and that they shouldn’t interfere. Many modern remedies and medicines are based on the Native American knowledge of the different plants and herbs they used for thousands of years. Here are the most versatile plants the Native Americans used in their everyday lives: #1. Yarrow (Achillea millefolium) This fragrant, flowering plant has been used since Ancient Greece began using to stop excess bleeding. It is said the Greek hero Achilles used it on his wounds, hence the name. Pioneers and aboriginal people applied this on open wounds and cuts as a poultice made from the leaves to help clot the blood. They also combined fresh yarrow juice with water to help an upset stomach and for intestinal disorders. A tea made from the leaves and stems will act as an astringent. #2. Sumac This plant can be used for multiple medicinal remedies, but it is one of the only plants that the healers used in treating eye problems.

  • Plants That Attract Beneficial Insects
    PLANTS THAT ATTRACT BENEFICIAL INSECTS Nature is filled with “good bugs”, crawling and flying creatures whose diet includes pests that ravage garden plants. Here is a list of those good bugs and the plants that they like to visit for shelter and as another source of food for their diet, the sugar from flowers. Intersperse these plants among the “problem pest areas” in your yard. Keep in mind that many chemical sprays harm both bad and good bugs. To keep the good bugs on the job, eliminate harsh insecticide use in areas inhabited by beneficial insects. LACEWINGS (Chrysopa spp.) Beautiful, little (3/4”) green or brown insects with large lacy wings. Individual white eggs are found laid on the ends of inch-long stiff threads. It is the larvae (which look like little alligators) that destroy most of the pests. They are sometimes called aphid lions for their habit of dining on aphids. They also feed on mites, other small insects and insect eggs. On spring and summer evenings, lacewings can sometimes be seen clinging to porch lights, screens or windows. Plants that attract lacewings: •Achillea filipendulina Fern-leaf yarrow •Anethum graveolens Dill •Angelica gigas Angelica Queen Anne’s Lace •Anthemis tinctoria Golden marguerite Golden marguerite •Atriplex canescens Four-wing saltbush •Callirhoe involucrata Purple poppy mallow •Carum carvi Caraway •Coriandrum sativum Coriander •Cosmos bipinnatus Cosmos white sensation Fern-leaf yarrow •Daucus carota Queen Anne’s lace Cosmos white sensation •Foeniculum vulgare Fennel •Helianthus maximilianii Prairie sunflower •Tanacetum vulgare Tansy •Taraxacum officinale Dandelion Angelica LADYBUGS Easily recognized when they are adults by most gardeners.
