Achillea Millefolium Oil is a clear indigo-blue liquid with a fruity, fresh, sweet, and pleasant odor. Rich in monoterpenes like alpha- (3-4%) and beta-pinene (5-6%), it exhibits a potent anti-inflammatory, vulnerary, healing (skin, wound), hemostatic (minor cuts, aftershave), decongestive and astringent, antispasmodic, cholagogue, choleretic, and anti-allergic properties.

In traditional medicine, Achillea Millefolium Oil was used to treat neuritis, neuralgia, hepatobiliary and digestive insufficiency, renal lithiasis, sprain, strain, varicose ulcer, dysmenorrhea, amenorrhea (painful or scanty periods), and prostatitis.

Achillea Millefolium Oil is helpful in topical preparations for treating eczema, razor burns, small cuts, cracks, and chapped skin. Incorporated in modern skin care applications, it soothes irritated skin, fights against acne, and speeds up the recovery of damaged skin. It smooths fine lines and wrinkles, exposing a healthy, youthful, and radiant appearance.
