Serena- I have used Yarrow for both respiration issues as well as feminine issues. I currently use Solaray's capsules. They are 320mg/capsule and it recommends 1-3 capsules 2x a day. I cannot take birth control and needed something to help control my heavy bleeding. Yarrow is it! It works very well! I worked my way up over a couple of weeks to 6 a day. It does clear out excess mucus from your body, so you may have a few funky BMs and cough up some of the excess mucus. Not to worry, just back off a capsule or 2 and try upping it again a few days later. Hopefully it helps with the spotting/bleeding! It works GREAT for me! :)Replied By Rachel (Reinholds, Pa) on 02/11/2012
Since Yarrow is a stronger herb than some- we herbalists recommend that you do not take yarrow all the time. Take it for 2-3 weeks, then rest your body a few weeks and take it again if you need it.
It is really a great herb for bleeding and detoxing.
