Blue Tansy, also referred to as Moroccan Tansy, is an annual yellow-flowered Mediterranean plant found in northern Morocco. Chamazulene, a chemical component in Blue Tansy, provides the characteristic indigo color and is recognized for its skin soothing benefits.
Tansy comes from a Greek word “Athanaton” meaning “immortal”. (http://www.circulating-oils-library.com/en/essential-oils/blue-tansy-essential-oil-tanacetum-annuum)
The body focus of Blue tansy is the solar plexus, which it softens, relaxes and expands. This indicates this aromatic for individuals presenting a hardening and tensing up in this area, which results in a corresponding hardening of the Self. The Specific symptomatology above clearly displays the issues of self-fulfilment in the world under major challenge. Characterized by rigid thinking, a lack of flexibility, a need to remain in control and an inability to let go of di cult issues, the Blue tansy personality is punctuated by frustration, anger, irritability, depression and anxiety. By reminding us of the ever-changing, impermanent nature of reality, Blue tansy can be a valuable ally in helping us make our relationship to the world and others a more owing, adaptive, spontaneous and dynamic one.
