Elemental Profile of Achillea millefolium L. from Wild Populations in Albania

Achillea millefolium L. is a medicinal plant widely harvested for traditional and official use across the Balkan region, yet its elemental composition and safety profile remain uncharacterized for Albanian localities. This study evaluated the concentrations of macro elements (N, P, K, Ca, Mg) and microelements (Fe, Zn, Mn, Cd) in the aerial parts of A. millefolium collected from five regions of Albania (Kukësi, Kruja, Përmeti, Korça, and Pogradeci). Plant material was subjected to microwave-assi
