In the last issue of the Raindrop Messenger (Nov-Dec 2007, V5N6) a formula for making your own Helichrysum is given. One of the ingredients is listed as “Wild Tansy.”

You won’t find “Wild Tansy” in Young Living’s price list or Product Guide. What you do find is “Idaho Tansy.” Wild tansy and Idaho Tansy are one and the same species, viz. Tanacetum vulgare.

There is another kind of tansy oil called Blue Tansy, but this is a different species, viz. Tanacetum annum. This last Tansy is what gives the blue color to the Valor Blend and is an ingredient in Gary’s Magic Relief Formula mentioned above.

While the recipe for “Helichrysum Blend” is given in the last issue of the Raindrop Messenger, here it is again, only this time listed with “Idaho Tansy,” the name used by Young Living for this species.

Helichrysum Blend = Equal Parts of the following:

~^~ Clary Sage
~^~ Elemi
~^~ Roman Chamomile
~^~ Idaho Tansy
~^~ Wintergreen
~^~ Ylang Ylang

~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~
