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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
Low
How many vitamins, minerals and how much fiber this food carries per calorie. A high score means a lot of nutrition for few calories.
Medium
An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.
