Description

Tansy, or Tanacetum vulgare, is a herbaceous plant found in many places with small, feathery leaves and yellow inflorescences with intense smell - oily, camphor-like and bitter

Tansy is used for digestive tract problems including stomach and intestinal ulcers, certain gallbladder conditions, migraines, nerve pain, joint pain, and many other conditions, but there is no good scientific evidence to support these uses. Using tansy might also cause toxic effects.

Tansy seems to have activity against tics, fungus, bacteria, and parasites. It also might have anti-inflammatory activity.
