Throughout its history, Blue Tansy Essential Oil has been highly valued for its ability to assist with respiratory complaints, asthma, eczema, bites, muscle aches and sunburn. Nowadays, this deep indigo oil is prized for its powerful anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties.

Interestingly, Blue Tansy Essential Oil is extracted via steam distillation from the yellow flowered Mediterranean plant that is now native to Morocco. For this reason, it is commonly referred to as Moroccan Chamomile Essential Oil, and carries an intensely refreshing, sweet-herbaceous aroma with a subtle camphoraceous top note.

Blue Tansy Essential Oil gets its deep indigo colour from a chemical compound called chamazulene. During the steam distillation process when the tansy plant reacts to hot water vapor the oil changes colour.

Warm Bath: Add a few drops to a warm bath to treat inflammation or various skin complaints.
Cleansing Shower: You can also add a drop to each corner of your shower, the aroma will rise with the steam to create a calming and soothing atmosphere.  

Massage: To create a Blue Tansy infused massage oil simply add a few drops to a carrier oil or base massage oil and gently massage into sore areas.

Moisturiser: For those who want to use Blue Tansy Oil topically but do not want an oil-based formulation, you can add a few drops to a base moisturiser. However, please be cautious – due to its bright blue colour Blue Tansy Oil can stain fabrics when used topically.

Whilst essential oils are natural products, they are extremely potent and can cause serious harm if used incorrectly. For this reason, we recommend the following:

• In line with the Therapeutic Goods Act, we do not recommend ingesting essential oils without the guidance of a registered Aromatherapist or Naturopath.
• Avoid using Blue Tansy Essential Oil during pregnancy and whilst breastfeeding.
• We recommend storing your essential oils in a cool, dry place at room temperature, ensuring that they are not directly exposed to sunlight and are out of reach of children or pets.
• Blue Tansy Essential Oil is very concentrated and is likely to cause irritation or reactions if applied directly to the skin. For this reason, it is important to first dilute your essential oils before using topically (on the skin). Our recommended dilution percentages can be found under the ‘Directions for Use’ section.
