Blue Tansy
Blue Tansy essential oil has a high content of chamazulene, which gives Tansy oil its characteristic blue color. Induces relaxation and can be used to ease nervous tension and stress. Blue Tansy is also used as an anti-inflammatory and is a must in blends for burns, sunburns and bruises. It is said to be beneficial for allergies and is most effectively used as an inhalant in a diffuser or you can also put a couple of drops on a handkerchief and inhale. As an anti-inflammatory, it is also quite useful for asthma, blend it with some Ravensara for best results. Blue tansy, like the blue oils, is used for sore muscles, sprains and strains, arthritis, rheumatism, and sciatica. Also known as Moroccan Chamomile. This Chamomile, which is classified botanically as a member of the Tansy family, has the most chamazulene of all the blue oils, and is characterized by an intensely sweet herbal scent and deep blue color. The anti-inflammatory effect is significant, though it is not as pronounced as CO2 extracted German Chamomile. Nonetheless, it is an effective alternative to the German Chamomile in many formulations, and has value as an excellent natural anti-histamine. This would make it very suitable for working with allergic reactions such as hay fever, asthma and hives. Generally non-irritating and non-toxic, however it has not yet been formally tested. This is not a food grade item and should never be taken internally. Keep out of reach of children and pets.
