Tansy comes in different species and is difficult to distinguish from one another. Some of them have higher tujone content than others. Therefore use only under the supervision of a doctor! Do not use for internal inflammation.
At Incense tansy flowers are used to smoke out evil or a witch.
Hildegard von Bingen: If you have a cold, eat tansy Soups or cakes. He suppresses the juices so that they don't take over. But whoever has a dry cough, let him prepare soups of fine flour and tansy and eat them often. And whoever cannot urinate because he is oppressed by a stone, let him crush tansy and make juice out of it and drink it in wine.
