Notes
Not a substitute for medical care; be cautious if allergic to Asteraceae plants.

The HMPC monograph targets yarrow herba; a flower tea is a traditionally related form but a botanically different part of the plant. If you are allergic to Asteraceae, skip this tea — the document highlights the hypersensitivity risk reported for preparations.
