The PDR for Herbal Medicines. It’s 858 pages on herbal medicine. Same company that publishes the well known PDR.

I keep it next to my desk and use it often. A fabulous resource that includes:
Plant description
Trade Names
Action and Pharmacology
Compounds
Effects
Indications & Usage
Contraindications
Precautions & Adverse Reactions
Dosage
Modes of Administration
Storage Recommendations
Extensive Literature and Journal Article References

My Herbal PDR copy is a few years old. I need to get a new one. My wife is an MD psychiatrist so I usually bounce my thoughts off her when I get into pharmacology over my head.

It does sound like yarrow is worthy of investigation, but in the absence of NMCD info I’d need to at least do a review of the scientific literature before I could recommend it to my patients. I’m sure you understand why my advice must be...conservative. ;^)
