Milfoil or Pink Yarrow

The new weed, thousand leaf or also yarrow
Pink yarrow (Achilea millefolium) can be found in many places in the Campo. As a neophyte she has spread all over the world but is at home with us and very common.
The herb has been used in medicine as a wound healer and appetite stimulator since ancient times. The young shoots can be cut into the salad, or the leaves can be used as seasoning for curd cheese, soups and sauces.
The most beautiful olives thrive here, which must be related to the heavenly effect of this medicinal herb. The nine stands for the heavenly, perfect, the 1000 for the all-encompassing infinity.
