Here's a helpful guide to help your "weed" identification skills! If you enjoy walking fields, back roads, or open meadows, you have probably noticed the white flowering plants that show up every summer and look almost identical at first glance. Many people assume they are all yarrow, but that is not always the case. Two very common plants that get confused are yarrow and Queen Anne’s lace. They grow in similar places, bloom at similar times, and often stand side by side. Knowing the difference matters, especially if you are interested in herbs, foraging, or simply understanding the plants around you. What is yarrow Yarrow is a perennial herb with soft, feathery leaves that grow along the stem. When you rub the leaves between your fingers, they have a strong herbal scent that is slightly bitter and aromatic. The flowers grow in tight, flat clusters and tend to look more compact and structured. Yarrow has a long history in traditional herbal use and is commonly associated with first aid support, skin applications, and seasonal wellness. Because of its strength, it is not recommended during pregnancy. What is Queen Anne’s lace Queen Anne’s lace is also known as wild carrot. It is a biennial plant and usually grows a bit taller and more delicate looking than yarrow. The flowers form an umbrella shape rather than a flat top, spreading outward from the center. Often there is a small dark purple flower right in the middle of the white cluster. This is one of the easiest visual clues and has been remembered through folklore as a drop of blood from Queen Anne’s finger while making lace. The leaves are more carrot like in shape and the stem feels fuzzy or hairy when touched. When crushed, the plant often smells faintly like carrots. Key differences to look for Yarrow has flat flower clusters while Queen Anne’s lace has a rounded, umbrella shaped bloom. Yarrow leaves grow along the stem and are finely feathered. Queen Anne’s lace leaves are more fern like and concentrated lower on the plant. Yarrow smells herbal and sharp when crushed. Queen Anne’s lace smells mild and carrot like. Queen Anne’s lace usually has a hairy stem. This is an important safety detail.

⚠️ A Word of Caution on Methylene Blue Hey friends, I wanted to quickly share something important. There’s been a lot of buzz lately around Methylene Blue as a “miracle” health supplement. But after diving into more recent findings and expert discussions, I urge everyone to be very cautious before jumping on the bandwagon. 🎧 Here’s a great breakdown worth listening to: Spotify Episode: Is Methylene Blue Safe? 🔬 What you need to know: If you have a G6PD deficiency, Methylene Blue can be dangerous. MB is also a MAOI inhibitor, which can cause complications for some. Those with COMT +/+ gene SNPs may have trouble metabolizing it properly. The reality is: each of us has a different genetic blueprint — what helps one person could seriously harm another. ✨ If you’re ever considering something like this, I highly recommend genetic testing first to see if you’re a candidate. I do have someone I trust and can recommend if you’re curious. Let’s continue to support our bodies wisely and avoid the hype traps. Your long-term health is worth it. 💚 Drop any questions or thoughts below — happy to have an open discussion on this.
