Achillea millefolium plants

Results of experiments with water and ethanol extracts from sesquiterpene-enriched plants Achillea millefolium and Gaillardia pulchella are given in Table 2. The inhibitory effects are dependent on the solvents and the concentration of plant material. Strongest effects were observed mainly, for leaves and flowers. 

Very little quantitative data have been reported in relation to the concentration of aconitic acid in various plant juices other than from cane sorghum and from sugar cane varieties although the acid has been identified in the juices from many other species of plants. It has been isolated from a variety of species of Aconitum,1-7-11 Delphinium,9 12 and Equisetum,2 3-l2a and also from Achillea millefolium,Adonis vernalis,u,lb Helinus ovatus,16 Sansevieria zeylancia,17 wheat,18 and from barley, maize, oat and rye plants.19 It can indeed be said that aconitic acid, at least qualitatively, is a commonly occurring constituent in the plant kingdom. 

A new piperideide (155) was isolated from Achillea millefolium, and its structure was determined using MS, UV, and H NMR [420]. Several previously known piperidine amides were also isolated from this plant, including the dominant 156. The stereochemistry of amides 157 and 158 was determined using the lanthanide induced shift method [420],...

Birds were tested for integrated neural activity in response to eight stimuli the arbitrary standard (n-butanol), a blank that consisted of ambient air passed through the delivery apparatus, and volatiles from six plant species Agrimona paraflora, Daucus carota, Achillea millefolium. 

Traditional use Used in the same way as Achillea millefolium and A. asiatica. A decoction is used to treat internal and external bleeding and hemorrhoids (Plant Resources of the USSR 1993 Alimbaeva and Shambetov 1988). 

Yarrow (Achillea millefolium s.l), arnica, and even chamomile originate still partly from wild collection in Central and Eastern Europe, and despite several attempts to cultivate spikenard (Valeriana celtica), a tiny European mountain plant with a high content of patchouli alcohol, this species is still wild gathered in Austria and Italy (Novak et al 1998, 2000).

Achillea millefolium is an aromatic plant known as MillfoU whose leaves yield about 0 2 per cent, of essential oil, of a deep blue colour. It has been examined by several chemists, the results recorded differing according to the locality of origin of the plant The majority of pure samples have the following characters —...
