Extract

Common tansy [Tanacetum vulgare (L.) Bernh. ♯CHYVU], a native of Europe and Asia, is a perennial herbaceous composite growing erect to 1 m. It bears finely divided leaves and, in summer, umbels of small, button-shaped yellow flowers. It has had many traditional uses as medicine, preservative, and repellent from Medieval times to modern—uses which have been validated by contemporary research.
