Description
Blue Tansy Essential Oil
Blue Tansy Essential Oil is made from the tiny flowers of the Tanacetum annuum plant. Whilst being very small, the oil from these diminutive flowers has earned itself a big name!
This is because Blue Tansy Essential Oil has become a really popular ingredient in a broad range of personal care and cosmetic products, ranging from all manner of anti-acne preparations to many anti-ageing products.
Blue Tansy Essential Oil is profoundly anti-histamine and anti-inflammatory, so it supports immune function, and addresses the underlying issues of inflammatory skin conditions, like acne, eczema and psoriasis etc.
Blue Tansy has been researched by oncologists for anti-tumoural applications in the treatment of cancer, and radiologists also recognise Blue Tansy as an effective treatment for burns.
Tragically, the popularity of Blue Tansy Essential Oil nearly led to its demise. According to a leading online natural health website:
When the flower’s popularity in beauty products surged, it was harvested almost out of existence in the wild. Today, supplies are steadily increasing, but it’s still one of the more expensive essential oils.

My go to oil for balance for my thyroid. I was told my thyroid was borderline hyperactive and I may have to start on lifetime medication to ‘help’. I refused to believe that would be the only way! Blue tansy has an amazing aroma which lifts my mood every time. I apply just a small amount, mostly in a carrier oil, direct to the area of concern. The oils last such a long time. I physically feel the benefits in a short time. The palpitations settle and I can continue with my day with confidence knowing I have this deeply healing natural medicine nearby. I went for a follow up test some months after starting a care and healing regime and my consultant was actually shocked that my readings were now normal thyroid levels. I used blue tansy in conjunction with a few other oils from Wild as The Wind. Rachels personal service has been second to none and the oils are far superior to other mainstream companies products I have bought in the past….. and I’ve bought alot of essential oils over the years. Now I’ve discovered Wild as the Wind, I will not be going anywhere else. Thank you Rachel for seeking the exceptional and best for your customers.
