The Saxons wore amulets made of the yarrow plant to protect against blindness, robbers, and dogs, among other things.

Legend has it that Achilles was taught the medicinal virtues of Yarrow by the centaur Charon, who was skilled in herb lore. Achilles used the herb to heal his solders' bleeding wounds, and the herb was named in his honor, though some might feel it should have been named after Charon. In any event, Yarrow has an ancient and honorable reputation as a wound herb, particularly efficacious for stopping the flow of blood.

YARROW SKIN WASH RECIPE
Because yarrow is astringent (drying), it makes a good skin wash for oily skin.
Pour 2 cups of boiling water over 1 cup of crumbled, dried yarrow flowers.
Cool, strain, and pat on skin.
This wash is soothing to chapped skin and minor irritations.
