Tansy Herb C/S (Tanacetum vulgare) 1 lb: C This is Starwest's nitrogen-flushed double wall silverfoil pack. Tansy, in very small doses, had a respected reputation among the old herbalists, which Grieve, King's and Felter repeat here. Tansy, however, is poisonous in large doses, sometimes even in moderate doses, so unless you have experience with this herb, you should not use it, or use it in very small, experimental doses. As Felter puts it, 'Tansy is a uterine stimulant and emmenagogue, and is a popular but unsafe remedy to restore arrested or delayed menstruation.' Grieve's classic 'A Modern Herbal': 'Tansy is largely used for expelling worms in children, the infusion of 1 oz. to a pint of boiling water being taken in teacupful doses, night and morning, fasting. It is also valuable in hysteria and in kidney weaknesses, the same infusion being taken in wineglassful doses, repeated frequently.' 'It forms an excellent and safe emmenagogue, and is of good service in low forms of fever, in ague and hysterical and nervous affections. As a diaphoretic nervine it is also useful. In moderate doses, the plant and its essential oil are stomachic and cordial, being anti-flatulent and serving to allay spasms. In large doses, it becomes a violent irritant.' King's 1898 Dispensatory: 'Tansy is tonic, emmenagogue, and diaphoretic. In small doses, the cold infusion will be found useful in convalescence from exhausting diseases, in dyspepsia, with troublesome flatulence, hysteria, jaundice, and worms.' 'A warm infusion is diaphoretic and emmenagogue, and has been found beneficial in intermittent fever, suppressed menstruation, tardy labor-pains, and as a preventive for the paroxysms of gout. The seeds are reputed the most efficient for worms.' 'The oil is likewise used as an anthelmintic, and as an abortive, but for the last purpose it is highly dangerous and generally ineffectual. Tansy is much employed in the form of fomentation to swellings and tumors, local inflammations, etc., and applied to the bowels in amenorrhoea, and painful dysmenorrhoea. The vinous infusion is said to be beneficial in strangury, and other urinary obstructions, and in debility of the kidneys.' 'By means of a spray or inhalation, a solution of a strong tincture (1 to 4 or 10) is valuable in diphtheria, acute inflammations of the throat, and in epidemic catarrh (Scudder). The dose of the powder is from 30 to 60 grains, every 3 or 4 hours; of the infusion, from 1 to 4 fluid ounces; of the tincture of fresh tansy (viii to alcohol, 76 per cent, Oj), 1 to 30 drops; of the oil, from 2 to 10 drops. A very pleasant compound tincture may be made by adding tansy, 2 ounces; swamp milkweed, 1 ounce; unicorn root and prickly ash berries, of each, ounce; to 2 pints of diluted alcohol. Let them macerate for 14 days, and filter. This is useful as a vermifuge and tonic, and may be given to a child 2 or 3 years old, in doses of a teaspoonful, 3 or 4 times a day, in sweetened water.' Eclectic Materia Medica, 1922 (Felter): 'External.
