Tanacetum annuum
Blue Tansy, also known as Moroccan Tansy, is a yellow-flowering annual Mediterranean plant that grows in northern Morocco. Its flowers contain several valuable chemical constituents, including chamazulene, which gives Blue Tansy its characteristic indigo-blue colour. This essential oil is also known for its benefits for the skin. Add a few drops to a hot bath, use it with your favourite skincare products, or simply massage it into the skin.
Primary Benefits
It is a key ingredient in several dōTERRA blends, including dōTERRA Balance and Deep Blue.
The rich, slightly fruity aroma of Blue Tansy has distinctive uplifting qualities that help create a positive atmosphere.
Among its many other uses, Blue Tansy can have a soothing effect when applied to the skin.
It is also valued in manufacturing for its natural aroma and precious indigo-blue colour, which can serve as a natural colouring agent.
Beneficial Blue
Did you know? Blue Tansy is also one of the key ingredients in the doTERRA Deep Blue blend. The soothing properties of Blue Tansy essential oil, like the doTERRA Deep Blue family, can help comfort and cool the body after prolonged activity or strenuous exercise. Mix it with Fractionated Coconut Oil or body lotion and massage it into the skin after a long workday or intense exercise to support the body’s natural recovery.
Uses
To make use of its soothing properties, apply Blue Tansy essential oil to areas of minor skin irritation.
Add one or two drops to body lotion and use it for a restorative massage after a long, demanding day or strenuous exercise.
For topical use, add one drop to your favourite moisturiser or facial cleanser.
Experiment and create your own blends. Blue Tansy pairs especially well with Geranium, Clary Sage, Petitgrain, Lavender, Juniper Berry, Spearmint and Ylang Ylang essential oils.
