Common tansy, Tanacetum vulgare. Description, illustrations of the plant Tansy. Legends, myths, history
Tansy, in general, is considered a female flower. There is a legend that older women asked the goddesses not to take away their feminine manifestations in order to stay young and attractive longer. And the goddesses threw bright yellow-orange flowers with a sharp spicy smell (tansy) from Olympus. The legend is a legend, and tansy during pregnancy is categorically contraindicated, as it can provoke a miscarriage. There were times when tansy was used to induce an abortion, which you should never do. You can cause such bleeding, which even doctors then can not cope with. Since ancient times, it has been known that girls carried tansy leaves with them so that no misfortune would happen, they even made wishes, so the people also dubbed it "love spell-grass". And also tansy - amulet-grass. Peter I advised all the nobles to plant it at the entrance to the dwelling, "in order to protect the residents from bad visitors." That is, with whatever thoughts a person comes to you, he will leave all his bad thoughts outside the threshold of your house. Balsamic tansy is advised to be planted in the garden, next to the house. Tansy balsamic brings peace and joy to the owners. The healing properties of tansy have been known since the time of the pharaohs and ancient Russian merchants. Tansy was used not only as a medicine, in ancient Egypt it was used for mummification, and ancient Russian merchants used grated tansy to transport fresh meat over long distances. The meat was rubbed and sprinkled with grated tansy, wrapped in cloth and taken to other cities, upon arrival the meat was washed and put up for sale, while the meat did not lose its properties and did not deteriorate. Tansy - so called tansy in medieval Europe. According to legend, the name comes from tanaceta, Latinized Greek athansia - the negation of Thanatos, immortality. Maybe because tansy blooms for a long time, maybe because, like flowers of immortals, dry inflorescences retain their yellow color, or maybe the Olympic gods really treated the young man Ganymede with tansy, granting him immortality. Tansy has another name - pyrethrum, and another beautiful legend about the origin of the name. It is connected with the ancient Germanic runes. The mystical meaning of one of them connected this plant with fertility, healing, creative forces, new hopes. Echoes of paganism are closely intertwined with Christianity. Perhaps that is why in the southern Anglo-Saxon counties of the time of Queen Elizabeth, the young leaves of tansy were considered valuable spring greens. They were used during Lent to cleanse the body. In Germany, on the Moselle River in the Trier region, on the site of one of the oldest settlements of the Gallic tribe - the Trevers, there was a very ancient tradition, in the Middle Ages timed to coincide with the Christian holiday of the Assumption of the Virgin. On August 15 (28), the peasants collected bouquets of various herbs and branches of fruit trees and shrubs with ripe fruits and carried them for consecration in the church. And often the German peasants called the feast of the Assumption of the Virgin Krautwischtag, "the day of bouquets" in a very loose translation. After the mass, bouquets of herbs and branches of fruit trees were used to decorate domestic crucifixes, houses and barnyards, protecting livestock from disease. Thousand-year-old peasant wisdom and accumulated centuries-old knowledge about the properties of herbs, combined with religious feelings, carried a rational grain - the repellent properties of tansy, yarrow, tartar, wormwood, St. John's wort and other plants blooming at the end of summer really protected livestock, playing the role of modern disinfectants. And tansy was used in a similar way - tansy bouquets were brewed with boiling water and barrels for pickles and sours were sprinkled with the resulting infusion with tansy brooms.

Common tansy, Tanacetum vulgare L. Botanical description, distribution, chemical composition, features of use
Aster family - Asteraceae. A perennial plant 50-150 cm high. The rhizome is long, woody. Stems numerous, erect, slightly pubescent or glabrous. The leaves are oblong-ovate, double-pinnate, the lowest leaves are petiolate, the rest are sessile, rigid; leaf lobes lanceolate, dissected into ovate-lanceolate lobules; lobules sharp-toothed, rarely almost entire. Flowers yellow, tubular. Inflorescences - hemispherical baskets, collected at the top of the stem with a shield. The fruit is an oblong achene with a short, finely serrated margin. Blooms in July - September. The fruits ripen in August - September. It grows on the edges, in meadow steppes, birch forests, in upland meadows. Found in temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere.

The highest content of essential oil is observed during the flowering period. The yield of essential oil from fresh flowering plants is on average 0,1-0,2, from dry - 0,2-0,3%. The essential oil from the flowers and leaves is a yellow or greenish-yellow liquid. The main component of essential oil is beta-thujone. In addition, the oil contains alpha-thujone, pinene, L-camphor and borneol, as well as unsaturated bicyclic sesquiterpene dioxylactone tanacetin. The content of ketones (thujone and camphor) in Siberian plants ranges from 0 to 61%. If the plants grow in a dry, elevated place, the content of ketones in the oil is much higher than in the case when the plants grow in dense thickets, in low-lying and shady places. During flowering, tansy inflorescences contain alkaloids - 0,04-0,5%, polysaccharides, proteins, glycosides, organic acids (tanacetic and gallic), tannins and bitter substances, vitamins (ascorbic acid, rutin, carotene); oxyflavonone glycoside was found in inflorescences; in the seeds - fatty oil.
