Tansy

The name of tansy evokes its ancient use in monastery gardens for its multiple medicinal virtues and its insect-repellent properties. This perennial plant, with finely cut and intense green leaves, bears yellow flowers in flower heads in summer which catch the eye on the edges of paths and meadows. Known since Antiquity, tansy is an emblematic species of the Asteraceae family, rich in active ingredients.

The distillation of tansy, carried out at the end of flowering, reveals a powerful essential oil, rich in thujone, camphor and chamazulene, the latter giving it a characteristic bluish tint. Although toxic in high doses, tansy essential oil is sought after for its anti-inflammatory, antiparasitic and insect repellent properties. Hydrosol, softer and less concentrated, remains no less precious, used for its purifying and soothing effects, particularly on the skin. Harvesting tansy is a delicate operation, because the quality of the oil and hydrosol strongly depends on the growing and distillation conditions, making this plant a true aromatic curiosity.
