Frequently Asked Questions About Yarrow tea
What is yarrow tea good for?
Yarrow tea is traditionally used for digestive complaints and menstrual discomfort, but these uses are not firmly established by clinical research. It should not be treated as a cure or as a replacement for medical care.
How do you make yarrow tea?
To make yarrow tea, steep the dried herb in hot water for several minutes, then strain it. A long steep can make the brew more bitter. Follow the directions on the package if you are using a prepared tea.
What does yarrow tea taste like?
Yarrow tea tastes herbal and aromatic, with a noticeable bitter edge. Steeping it for less time can soften the bitterness; honey or lemon will change the flavor but does not alter the tea’s traditional uses.
Does yarrow tea have side effects?
Yes, yarrow tea can cause stomach upset or an allergic reaction in some people. Those allergic to plants in the daisy family may be more likely to react; stop drinking it if you develop a rash, itching, or swelling.
Can you drink yarrow tea while pregnant?
Yarrow tea is best avoided during pregnancy because its safety has not been adequately studied and it may affect the uterus. If you are pregnant or trying to conceive, ask your healthcare professional before using herbal products.
Can yarrow tea bring on a period?
There is no reliable evidence that yarrow tea can bring on a period. If your period is late, do not rely on the tea to trigger bleeding or to rule out pregnancy or another health issue.
Does yarrow tea help with digestion?
Yarrow tea is traditionally taken for indigestion, but strong evidence that it improves digestion is lacking. Persistent or severe digestive symptoms deserve medical attention rather than repeated use of herbal tea.
Can you drink yarrow tea every day?
The safety of drinking yarrow tea every day over long periods has not been well studied. Occasional use is a more cautious choice; ask a healthcare professional before regular use if you take medication or have a health condition.
Is yarrow tea caffeine-free?
Yes, yarrow tea is naturally caffeine-free because it is an herbal infusion, not tea made from the tea plant. It can be an evening drink, though there is no good evidence that it improves sleep.
Can yarrow tea be served cold?
Yes, yarrow tea can be cooled and served over ice. Refrigerate the brewed tea in a clean, covered container and drink it fresh; do not leave it sitting at room temperature for an extended time.

What is Yarrow tea?
Yarrow tea is an infusion made by steeping the dried flowering tops of the yarrow plant, sometimes with its leaves, in hot water. Yarrow grows across much of Europe and other temperate regions, and the tea is prepared at home or sold as a dried herbal blend. It is usually sipped plain, though lemon or a little honey can soften its flavour.
The taste is grassy and gently bitter, becoming stronger with a longer steep. Like most unsweetened herbal infusions, it is mostly water and contributes very little energy. If you prefer a milder cup, steep it briefly or blend it with mint; it also makes a simple caffeine-free alternative to tea or coffee.
