Another possible confusion is with the essential oil of Annual Tansy, Tanacetum annuum, sometimes also called Moroccan Chamomile or Blue Chamomile. Our opinion One of the few "blue" essential oils in the repertoire, with bluish-green nuances due to the presence of chamazulene. Precautions for use Not recommended for pregnant and breastfeeding women or children under 7 years of age. Very well tolerated: no significant risk at physiological doses. Caution in case of previous allergy to Matricaria or other plants of the Asteraceae family. Do a test at the elbow before the very first use. Theoretical risk of hormone-like action, caution in case of hormone-dependent pathology. Avoid contact with the eyes. Keep out of reach of children. Store away from heat and light.
