It must not be confused with Tansy (Tanacetum vulgare) or Blue/German chamomile (Chamomilla recutita) Latin name: Tanacetum annuum Botanical family: Asteraceae (Compositae) Method of extraction:  steam distillation Plant part used to extract the oil: flowering tops Cultivation method: wild harvest Area of origin: Morocco Historical notes:  The genius name, tanacetum, comes from the Greek word ‘Athanasia’ meaning ‘immortality’. Tansy flowers appear in Greek mythology, but it is the Tanacetum vulgare, a related species, which creates a very different essential oil. According to the myth, Zeus ordered tansy flowers to be added to Ganymede’s drink to immortalise him as a cupbearer to the gods. The association with immortality most likely relates to the fact that tansy flowers do not wilt and can be easily dried up.
