BLUE TANSY 
Tanacetum annuum


Why is the Oil Blue? 
The Blue Tansy plant itself is not blue, but it does contain a constituent called matricin.  Through the process of steam-distillation, matricin is biosynthetised into chamazulene, a type of sesquiterpene and an amazing constituent, known mostly for its ability to support healthy inflammatory response, including for the brain. Chamazulene does not exist in the fresh plant materials.

Similar to all floral oils, Blue Tansy is immune boosting and is excellent for helping with relaxation and issues related to the skin.  Other special qualities include its affinity for supporting healthy inflammatory response and health response to environmental triggers.  

Relaxation and discomfort: It can be used in massage for structural issues, physical discomforts, supporting normal blood pressure, and as nervous system  sedative.  Consider combining it with lemongrass, cinnamon*, and/or marjoram for warming and soothing massage. (*not for use in pregnancy). 

Our bodies are under constant threat, again and again sending us into a sympathetic response, or fight or flight.  Blue Tansy is fantastic at providing support during all types of threats.  With Blue Tansy, we feel safe and move out of fight or flight mode toward a non-reactive state, physically, mentally, emotionally.  ​(Laura Jacobs presentation, Portland, Oregon 10/3/17)

Mood: Blue Tansy is calming, uplifting, and rejuvenating.  Use this oil to become more self-confidence and to be more light-hearted and fun-loving.  It also can help to regulate mood swings related to hormonal imbalance.

Skin care: Use Blue Tansy on injuries to the skin and for itching, enlarged capillaries on cheeks, and dry patches;  it combines well with Cedarwood, Frankincense, Cypress, Lavender, and Geranium.

Urinary system: This oil is helpful for supporting people with kidney health and fluid regulation.
