Monday morning again. As my alarm clock rings loudly in my ears, I sigh heavily at the prospect of leaving my cozy bed.
I reach the ensuite and look at my reflection in the mirror: although I’m not a young woman anymore, my skin doesn’t look too bad thankfully!
My tools? Homemade skin products for the most part, and my secret weapon: Doterra Yarrow Pom blend!
If you have never heard, or have never used this powerhouse of a blend, read this post as I’m going to tell you all about it.
WHAT IS YARROW POM?
From the Doterra website:
“A unique blend of Yarrow essential oil and Pomegranate seed oil, the Doterra Yarrow Pom active botanical nutritive duo offers significant benefits for the skin, body, and emotions. This proprietary blend has been carefully crafted to provide benefits related to the ageing process, feelings of vitality, and overall wellness. Once you experience the variety of benefits that Yarrow Pom oil has to offer, and breathe in the distinctive fruity, spicy, and herbaceous aroma, you’ll see that this is a blend you definitely want to add to your essential oil collection. […] Like all other Doterra products, Doterra Yarrow Pom oil has been expertly crafted and thoroughly tested to produce only the most pure, safe oil for final consumer use. Not only has Doterra Yarrow Pom oil been created with care, but this oil is a proprietary blend, which means you can only find this particular high-quality blend at Doterra.”
Yarrow Pom has many uses and benefits, and once you try it, you will see what all the fuss is about.
Chemistry of Yarrow Pom Essential Oil
This product is a proprietary blend of yarrow essential oil and pomegranate seed oil. Yarrow essential oil has many benefits on its own, but there are even more benefits packed into the Yarrow Pom active botanical nutritive duo. Keep reading to learn more about the unique attributes of this innovative blend.
Yarrow Oil
Products containing yarrow in general have become increasingly popular due to the wide range of benefits they provide. Yarrow essential oil has a high chamazulene content and is a great source of beta-Caryophyllene. It is similar to some of the blue oils; however, unlike Blue Tansy, which should only be used aromatically and topically, Yarrow is recognised by the food and drug administration (FDA) as a food additive (meaning it is safe for ingestion). Many Yarrow products on the market contain thujone, which is a chemical that is toxic to the nervous system and should never be ingested. However, the Doterra Yarrow oil has been tested through the CPTG certified pure tested grade process to ensure it does not contain thujone in any trace amounts.
Pomegranate Seed Oil
What’s truly unique about this product is that it isn’t just Yarrow essential oil that comes in the bottle. Indeed, it is the combined Yarrow Pom Active Botanical Nutritive Duo.
Pomegranate seed oil (PSO) is the carrier oil in this blend, but it is also packed with some beneficial qualities that you might not be aware of. Doterra’s PSO is extracted through cold press, which has been found to have much better physiochemical and nutritional qualities compared to PSO extracted through other methods, like CO2 extraction. Doterra’s cold pressing method provides the highest amount of crucial fatty acids while also keeping the resulting PSO free of impurities.
PSO is uniquely rich in punicic acid (CLnA) and conjugated linoleic acid (CLA).
CLA is known as an “omega 5” fatty acid due to the location of the double bond in its chemical structure. These unique conjugated fatty acids are known to provide metabolic support within key organs like the liver and pancreas, specifically in processes like lipid transport and lipid metabolism. You typically consume these fats in meats and dairy products, but Doterra’s PSO is a unique product containing a high concentration of these conjugated fatty acids from a fruit source.
YARROW POM BENEFITS FOR HEALTH AND BEAUTY: WHAT IS YARROW POM GOOD FOR?
This EO blend is just incredible and it’s packed with benefits for your skin, body and mind.
Yarrow Pom is useful for providing benefits related to the ageing process, feelings of vitality, and overall wellness. It promotes cellular, immune, and nervous system health. This blend also contains many internal benefits, including powerful antioxidant support, healthy metabolic function support, and benefits for your cells.
When you incorporate it into your skincare regimen, Yarrow Pom has the potential to promote a smooth, youthful complexion. Both Yarrow and pomegranate seed oil can help to moisturise and restore healthy-looking skin, while also working to reduce the appearance of skin imperfections. As a special proprietary blend, these essential oils work to activate protecting proteins within the skin in order to protect the complexion from enzymes that breakdown elasticity and collagen.
HOW DO YOU USE YARROW POM? DOES YARROW POM WORK?
You can use Yarrow Pom aromatically (diffuse or inhale), topically and internally. It’s calming and grounding, ideal for those stressful days when you just need to pause and restart your mind.
For topical use, just put a drop on the palm of your hands, rub them together and inhale deeply. Rub the excess oil over your heart to provide calming feelings throughout the day.
The uplifting properties of this blend make it an ideal combination for your diffuser, especially during these last few dark and dull winter weeks.
IS IT SAFE TO TAKE YARROW POM INTERNALLY?
As mentioned above, many Yarrow products on the market nowadays contain thujone, which is a chemical that is toxic to the nervous system and should never be ingested.
However, the Doterra Yarrow oil has been tested through the CPTG® process to ensure it does not contain thujone in any trace amounts.
Therefore, it is safe to take internally, following recommended guidelines.
HOW DO YOU USE YARROW POM INTERNALLY?
I personally have never used Yarrow pom internally. In fact, I prefer to apply it on my face daily.
However, it is safe to ingest it.
Doterra recommends consuming one to two drops morning and night.
I would suggest you use a veggie cap for this use, as the taste of this essential oil might put you off!
DOES YARROW POM HELP WITH WEIGHT LOSS?
The short answer to this question is most definitively yes!
Yarrow has been shown to regulate metabolism which has resulted in many people losing weight.
YARROW POM BENEFITS FOR HEALTH AND BEAUTY
There are so many benefits to this incredible blend.
Let’s go through some of them.
CALMING AND SOOTHING BENEFITS OF YARROW POM
The first benefit of Yarrow Pom is probably the potential for calming and soothing both your mind and your brain. Especially on those dark and cold days of winter, when you need a little pick – me – up, Yarrow Pom really comes in handy. You can diffuse it or inhale straight from the bottle, and benefit from the aromatic powers of this calming blend. Alternatively, you could just put a drop of Yarrow Pom in the palm of your hand, rub the hands together, place the hands over the nose, and inhale deeply. Make sure to take deep, slow breaths to calm your mind and reset your brain.
Rub the excess oil over your heart to provide calming feelings throughout the day.
USE YARROW POM DURING MASSAGES
You can use Yarrow Pom very effectively in a soothing massage experience.
This vegan-friendly active botanical duo supports your mind and body to soothe tension and stress, and calm your soul.
In order to relieve stress and lessen tension, pair Yarrow Pom with other soothing oils such as Lavender, Frankincense, Bergamot, Roman Chamomile, Clary Sage, etc.
NERVOUS SYSTEM SUPPORT
Due to its main chemical components, Yarrow Pom is very good for promoting cellular, immune and nervous system support.
Simply put a drop or two in a veggie cap and swallow with water.
support your mood
Yarrow pom can be very useful in order to boost your mood.
The best way to use this blend in order to lift your spirits, is to diffuse it. On those long, cold and dark days when you are stuck at home, you could just add a few drops to your diffuser, and enjoy the uplifting aroma.
Yarrow pom pairs very well with Bergamot and any Citrus oil.
SUPPORT YOUR METABOLISM
When taken internally, Yarrow Pom can help boost your metabolism and regulate your body’s inflammatory responses. This in turn will help support digestion.
Furthermore, Yarrow Pom can soothe inflammation that causes your stomach and intestine muscles to be stressed, which will also help you to get more out of the food you eat.
Simply put a drop or two in a veggie cap and swallow with water. You could also add it to a fresh smoothie or juice.

yarrow pom has ANTIOXIDANT POWERS
From drmariza.com: “Antioxidants are so important for maintaining the health of your organs and cells. The stress of daily life and of inflammation in your body leads to a build-up of free radicals that can do some serious damage. Help limit these by incorporating Yarrow Pom into your routines. Its powerful antioxidant properties can help keep your cells happy and show your liver some love.
Diffuse or apply it topically with other delicious oils like Grapefruit, Peppermint, Lavender, or Bergamot to give your body a boost”.
IMMUNE SYSTEM SUPPORT
Thanks to its constituents chamazulene and beta-caryophyllene, Yarrow Pom is a powerhouse for your immune health.
During cold and flu season, take it internally on a daily basis to boost your immune system.
YARROW POM BENEFITS FOR THE SKIN
Once you start incorporating Yarrow Pom into your skincare routine, you will be blown away by the amazing results!
Yarrow Pom can promote a smooth, youthful complexion. It can help to moisturise and restore healthy-looking skin, while also working to reduce the appearance of blemishes and skin imperfections.
IS YARROW POM GOOD FOR WRINKLES?
Yarrow Pom is indeed very helpful in reducing those dreaded wrinkles on your face!
Again, from drmariza.com: “Yarrow Pom will be your new best friend when it comes to keeping a healthy, youthful glow. This powerful formula will support healing for your skin by helping your body to repair and protect itself from the cells up.
It activates proteins that will protect your skin from the enzymes that break down the collagen causing wrinkles and ageing. It simultaneously soothes breakouts and irritated skin to keep you looking youthful and fresh”.
HOW DO YOU USE YARROW POM ON YOUR FACE?
You can use Yarrow Pom directly onto your face as it is very gentle. Alternatively, you could add a drop into your daily moisturiser.
In my experience, I noticed that I don’t like using Yarrow Pom on its own on my face. I find it too heavy for my skin, especially during the summer months. I prefer to massage it into my skin at the same time as my moisturiser. This way, it gets absorbed easily and without any residue.
Bear in mind that Yarrow Pom is blue in colour, so when you first start applying it onto your skin, your face will look blue as well. But don’t worry! In fact, that’s only short lived, as the colour will fade as the essential oil blend absorbs into your skin.
CAUTIONS
Possible skin sensitivity. Keep out of reach of children. If you are pregnant, nursing, or under a doctor’s care, consult your physician. Avoid contact with eyes, inner ears, and sensitive areas. May stain surfaces and fabrics.
YARROW POM HEALING BENEFITS FOR THE SKIN
Historically, doctors and nurses used Yarrow in battles. They made into a poultice to help with wounds, stop bleeding and prevent infections.
If you happen to have a bruise or a scar, you could massage a drop of Yarrow Pom over it daily. Adding a drop of Helichrysum essential oil will increase its healing powers. These two oils together can support your skin healing and help with preventing scarring (they work very well on reducing the appearance of old scars and stretch-marks as well).

YARROW POM BEFORE AND AFTER: MY EXPERIENCE
I have been using Yarrow Pom AM and PM on my skin for several years now.
It is an important part of my skincare regime.
I absolutely love this product and would not want to be without it to be honest.
My skin has improved dramatically, on different levels:
- wrinkles and fine lines have reduced in appearance, especially in the area around my eyes;
- my acne prone skin is clearer;
- my skin tone in general has improved;
- I have less red spots and blemishes.
Although I no longer have the skin of a young woman, I can honestly say that my complexion has greatly improved since I started using Yarrow Pom on a daily basis.
DOTERRA YARROW POM BODY RENEWAL SERUM
Doterra has also created a Yarrow Pom Body Renewal Serum. This is an amazing product for your body, and you should use it daily!
It comes in a larger 100ml (or 3.4 fluid ounces) bottle.
I use it AM and PM, massaging it especially on my “mummy tummy”.
Want to know just some of the reasons why I use this product?
Just like the Yarrow Pom essential oil blend, its powerful bioactive compounds have many benefits.
This body renewal serum contains:
- yarrow EO, which revitalises ageing skin;
- pomegranate seed oil, which is high in punicic acid, and supports the skin’s natural barrier;
- jojoba oil, sunflower oil, avocado oil, grape seed oil and argan kernel oils, to increase hydration, and help prevent normal signs of ageing;
- pomegranate esters, to help in promoting the appearance of bright, smooth, even skin.
Can Yarrow pom Serum be used on face?
Although not intended for that use, you can use the body renewal serum on your face. I do it sometimes.
However, this product is quite heavy on your face, so just apply a very small amount.
As with every new product, always test on a small patch first and look out for a sensitivity reaction. Stop using it immediately in case of a reaction.
