Abstract

Achillea biebersteinii, a flowering herbaceous perennial or semi-shrubby plant, is a member of the family Asteraceae represented by more than 100 species all over the world. The Achillea genus, which was named from the myth about Achilles using these plants to heal soldiers’ wounds in Trojan War, have been known to be widely utilized in traditional medicine through ages by different cultures around the World. Achillea biebersteinii, known as yarrow commonly in English, appears with different vernacular names such as “Civan perçemi” in Turkey, Thafra’a in Saudi Arabia, and Bu:ma:dærʌn in Iran. Traditionally, it is frequently used for abdominal pain in stomachache, menstrual pain, and wound healing. Besides the essential oil of this species studied extensively by researchers, its extracts have been found to be rich in flavonoids, phenolic acids, ionone glucosides, sesquiterpene lactones, and terpenoids. The promising pharmacological activities such as antioxidant, antimicrobial, analgesic, antidiabetic, antiplatelet, antiulcer, antioxidant, insecticidal, antifungal, and anticancer have been reported by several researchers. In this present chapter, it is aimed that its traditional uses and phytochemistry and pharmacological properties of Achillea biebersteinii reported until date will be summarized and highlighted to explore gaps in this area and contribute future potential.
