native to BC, and pretty much everywhere else in the northern hemisphere, i think. ;)
common yarrow is purported to be a diaphoretic, astringent, stimulant and mild aromatic. the genus name achillea is derived from the mythical greek character Achilles, who supposedly carried it with his army to treat battle wounds.
