Blue Tansy

What is Blue Tansy?

Blue tansy essential oil is extracted from the flowers of Tanacetum annuum, a plant native to Morocco. It is known for its striking blue color, resulting from the presence of chamazulene, which is a powerful anti-inflammatory compound. The oil has a sweet, herbaceous aroma and is often used in skincare products and aromatherapy for its calming effects.

Why do I have an intolerance?

Intolerance to blue tansy can occur due to sensitivity to its specific chemical constituents, particularly chamazulene. Individuals may experience allergic reactions such as skin irritation, respiratory issues, or digestive discomfort when using this oil.

What can I do about it?

To manage intolerance, avoid direct application of blue tansy oil on the skin without proper dilution. Use it sparingly in a diffuser, ensuring good airflow. Exploring other calming oils, such as lavender or chamomile, may provide similar benefits without the risk of intolerance.
