Blue Tansy Essential Oil

Blue Tansy essential oil possesses a complex, sweet, slightly floral aroma with camphorous and herbaceous undertones that are pleasant, calming and refreshing. Due to its chamazulene content, Blue Tansy essential oil is very dark blue in colour. This oil has a powerful anti-inflammatory effect as well as having anti-histamine, anti-allergen and anti-fungal applications. It can also help reduce anxiety, stress and anger in a way that is relaxing and sedating. The true Blue Tansy oil can be hard to acquire and is frequently adulterated, but Zurma makes sure that we only ever supply our customers with authentic, pure and natural essential oils such as this one.
