Yarrow
Yarrow has finely divided leaves and clusters of small flowers. Symbolic practices associate it with courage, boundaries and wishes concerning love. The plant is Achillea millefolium. Clusters of white flowers alone are not enough to identify an herb safely.
This is a tradition and not medical advice.

A personal ritual with yarrow
Use a dried sprig in a pouch and a note stating a specific intention. Return to the note after taking the action.
For observation, compare leaf shape with a botanical reference without treating the exercise as clearance to ingest the plant.
Precautions
Allergic skin reactions are possible, and there are restrictions for people sensitive to plants in the daisy family. Check the leaflet of the specific herbal product.
