Has anyone distilled yarrow into essential oil? Earlier this summer, I tried. The leaves and flowers were steam distilled for about an hour. I didn’t see any oil and definitely no blue oil. Fantastic fail. :/

I’ve only distilled a few oils myself. Haven’t tried yarrow.
Don't use herbs or combine herbs with medications or use them during lactation or pregnancy without talking with your healthcare provider.

I tried distilling some dried plant material. Nothing to speak of. I will do some fresh materials when they are again available.

As I understand it, it takes a bushel of plant material to get just a few ounces of the oils. This was explained by a name-brand EO company talking about their process to grow fields of certain plants (or contracts with farmers for specific plants) and the process these harvested plants are taken through to distill the EO from the plants. I wish you success. My first year or two of my 10 acre property I easily had one or two bushels of Yarrow growing…. Only, I had NO CLUE how to harvest it even for using dried materials. Now 10 yrs later, that I’m more informed, significantly less of it is growing on my property. \0/ Fresh yarrow, is so fragrant it is simply calming to my soul to be around it.
