Aromatic Note

Deep, bitter, resinous-herbal with camphorous tone and metallic coolness.

This oil acts like an inner shield — both protection and awakening.

Not just calming, it reminds you of your wholeness and the value of your personal boundaries.

What the scent brings to light in the subconscious

Pathological desires that distort one’s understanding of boundaries — where I end and another begins.

Blue yarrow reveals illusions around growth: sacrifice, self-erasure, over-softness or defensive aggression.

It helps to distinguish between genuine development and its mimicry.

Emotional & Psychological Impact

Helps restore a fine but steady sense of 'I am.'

Supports those who lose themselves in others’ emotions or see growth only through collapse.

Yarrow returns the ability to grow while honoring the self.

Balances the impulse to reject with the need to merge.

Cultural Roots & Traditional Use

In European traditions, yarrow was used for protection, cleansing, and wound healing.

Placed under pillows for prophetic dreams, in magical circles, and worn as amulet.

The name Achillea relates to Achilles — the hero who needed not only strength but healing.

In Kabbalah, this connects to Gevurah — the force of structure and discernment.

Blend Compatibility

Blends well with helichrysum, Roman chamomile, lavender, myrrh, rosemary, cypress, sage.
