Blue Tansy Essential Oil

🌿 Natural Blue Tansy Essential Oil (Tanacetum annuum)

Blue Tansy essential oil, extracted from the flowers of the Tanacetum annuum plant, is an elixir that captures the wild beauty of Mediterranean fields along with the therapeutic power of nature in its purest form. Its deep, captivating blue color comes from its high content of chamazulene, an aromatic compound that also provides some of its most remarkable properties.

“Blue Tansy is a fantastic essential oil for those moments when we suffer from coughs, reminiscent of the flavor of syrups we were given as children. One of its most remarkable effects can be felt when applied to the lumbar area, helping us recover energy and vitality almost immediately.”
- Luis Rodero, Aromatherapist. Author of Alquimia Aromática.

With its soft yet profound aroma, Blue Tansy acts like a silent voice that soothes, heals, and restores lost balance.

👃 Aromatic Profile

Blue Tansy essential oil has a unique, deep, and comforting fragrance. Sweet, with herbal and fruity notes reminiscent of chamomile and Roman chamomile, yet with a distinctive warmer and slightly camphor-like nuance. Its intense blue hue is due to the high chamazulene content – a powerful anti-inflammatory agent.

✨ Key Properties

• 🔥 Anti-inflammatory: Relieves inflammation, especially in sensitive or damaged skin.
• 🌼 Anti-allergic: Suitable for conditions like eczema and psoriasis.
• 😌 Emotional soother: Helps reduce stress, anxiety, and nervous tension.
• 🛡️ Antibacterial: Protects the skin against bacterial aggressions.

🌿 Differences from Other Varieties

Blue Tansy should not be confused with Common Tansy (Tanacetum vulgare), which has a very different chemical profile and can be toxic if misused. By contrast, Blue Tansy is gentler and safer for therapeutic and cosmetic use. Compared to Blue Chamomile, Blue Tansy is more potent in its anti-inflammatory activity and offers a warmer, more robust herbal fragrance.
