Sorry, I do not have any old recipes using Tansy, I am just beginning to
collect recipes. The only use for tansy I have ever heard was as an
Essential Oil, used topically. Blue tansy is also known commonly as
Bachelor Buttons. Topical properties for Wild Tansy oil are:
Anti-bacterial, anti-infectous, and anti-viral. Some possible uses might be
(according to "The Reference Guide for Essential Oils"): supportive to the
immune system in helping to fight colds, flu and infections. It encouraged
uplifting feeling and positive attitude, and a general feeling of well being.
I looked in my DK "Complete Medicinal Herbal" and it was not listed
anywhere in there - I'm begining to believe however that this book is not as
complete as it claims. I've found other areas where it is lacking as well.
I have no other applicable references. I know nothing about taking it
internally.
Good luck!
