Yarrow : I Heal What Has Been Torn

 From the cracks of grief and the soft edges of longing, yarrow quietly grows—an old companion in times of pain, offering a salve not just for the body, but for the soul. In the language of flowers, yarrow carries the tender message: “I heal what has been torn.” In floriography, it is known as the “cure for broken hearts” Its botanical name is rooted in myth—drawn from the Greek hero Achilles, who used it to mend the wounds of his warriors in battle. For centuries, herbalists turned to yarrow to stop bleeding and soothe the body, and in time, it became a timeless symbol of healing and protection. There’s an old, quiet belief: that the earth beneath us is not indifferent. That when pain spills upon it, it responds—with life, with care, with something like yarrow. And just like this bloom, some souls arrive softly into our lives—healing what hurts without ever needing to be seen. You are one of them. May this bloom be a mirror—of all the ways you mend without asking, grow without needing, and heal without noise.
