What Is Blue Tansy?
The blue tansy flower (Tanacetum annuum) is a member of the chamomile family, meaning the plant is related to the well-known chamomile plant. It’s used to make blue tansy essential oil that is most often applied topically to the skin.
The blue tansy plant, which is most commonly harvested in Morocco and parts of the Mediterranean region, contains the compound chamazulene, a type of antioxidant that is known to have calming effects on the skin, as well as the ability to fight free radical damage that contributes to signs of aging. Chamazulene is also responsible for this oil’s signature blue color.
This essential oil is described as having a sweet, earthy, herbal fragrance that is naturally relaxing, much like chamomile essential oil.
Benefits
1. Fights Inflammation
Blue tansy oil contains several anti-inflammatory compounds, including:
- Chamazulene (also called azulene)
- Sabinene
- Camphor
- Myrcene
- Pinene
When applied to the skin these compounds can help decrease skin damage, swelling, redness and discomfort. They may even act like natural wound-healing agents and have the ability to fight signs of UV damage and aging, such as wrinkles and fine lines.
Another anti-inflammatory use for this oil is fighting bacteria that may cause infections and decreasing nasal congestion and inflammation within the respiratory system. For example, aromatherapists sometimes diffuse the oil or have people inhale it from a bowl of steaming water to improve breathing and break up mucus.
2. Can Help Moisturize Skin/Prevent Dryness
Blue tansy products are commonly used to help decrease dry skin and add moisture. Although more research is needed to confirm how effective and safe it is, it’s also used in some cases to treat burns, such as those caused by radiation treatments.
3. Good Choice for Acne-Prone Skin
While some facial oils are not recommended for people with acne-prone skin, blue tansy seems to help reduce breakouts and other signs of skin inflammation and irritation.
4. Has a Naturally Calming Scent
Blue tansy contains high amounts of the compound called camphor, which has a calming effect when inhaled. You can use blue tansy oil in aromatherapy to help you feel grounded and relaxed before bedtime or when you’re stressed.
Try diffusing it in your home or inhaling it slowly from the bottle. It can also be added homemade room sprays, facial mists and massage oils.
5. Can Help Repel Mosquitos
Some studies have found that compounds present within blue tansy oil can deter insects and pests, including mosquitos, making it a great addition to natural and homemade bug sprays.
