In the legacy edition EODR (available at seedsofthyme ) there is some info about blue tansy's rarity and luxury skin care uses along with some medical properties of being hormone-like, antifungal relaxant, anti-inflammatory, etc..
While I couldn't find very much at pubmed.gov , I did find this gem of an article posted from the Raindrop Training article archives. At the time it was written Young Living didn't have some of the oils,
As you probably know, Dr David Stewart, YL Diamond, was one of my mentors and a genius and has written over 16 books, among them The Chemistry of Essential Oils,
Besides mentioning Blue Tansy, this piece has Gary's Magic Formula in it.
In this piece, I've excluded the contact information about Creer Labs, which no longer exists. This was Gary's private lab and go-to place for oils that never made it to our Price List, either because of scarcity of that oil or because it only had a few uses, often in blends. Rex Kidman 
headed that lab, I think for its lifetime.

by David Stewart, PhD, DNM
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.
Helichrysum blend = Equal parts of the following:
~^~ Clary Sage
~^~ Elemi
~^~ Roman Chamomile
~^~ Idaho Tansy
~^~ Wintergreen
~^~ Ylang Ylang

Obtaining the Oils for Gary's Magic Formula
by David Stewart, PhD, DNM
Gary Young's Magic Relief Recipe is given in the last issue of the Raindrop Messenger (Nov-Dec 2007). Among other things, the formula calls for German (Blue) Chamomile (Matricaria recutita), Blue Tansy (Tanacetum annum), and fir oil.
The question has arisen as to where to get the first two of these. The answer is this: Creer Lab carries both the Blue Chamomile and the Blue Tansy. Creer Lab is owned by Gary Young and is associated with Young Living to carry oils for which there is insufficient supply to make them available widely to the entire Young Living membership. Their address is as follows:
(I have removed only this information as Creer Labs no longer exists. Diane)
With respect to the fir oil, the question is "Which fir?" Young Living currently sells three species of fir oil: Balsam Fir (Abies balsamea), White Fir (Abies grandis), and Douglas Fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii). Douglas fir is not a true fir and not the one Gary had in mind for his formula. As for the other two (Balsam and White), they have almost the same chemistry, each with 75-95% monoterpenes and 5-20% Esters. Either of these two firs would work in the magic formula. In both cases, the dominant ester is bornyl acetate, which is also the dominant ester in Spruce oil which gives Valor its distinctive aroma.
As evergreens, firs look much the same as spruces at a distance. However, the needles of spruce are square or four-sided while those of the firs are flat or two-sided. You can twirl a spruce needle between your fingers, but the flat fir needles won't twirl. Spruce oils are higher in esters than firs while fir oils are higher in monoterpenes, but both classes of compounds are found in both kinds of oils. Esters are emotionally releasing while monoterpenes restore proper programming at cellular levels. Spruce cones hang down while fir cones are upright. Spruce is use mostly for pulpwood in making paper while fir is used mostly for lumber. But I digress.
As for the original question, "Which fir to use in the Magic Formula?" I would probably use Balsam Fir, but White would work too.
While the formula for Gary's Magic Relief Formula is given in the last issue of the Raindrop Messenger, here it is again with the specific fir recommended:
1 ounce V-6 mixing oil
8 drops Spruce
8 drops Sandalwood
7 drops Balsam Fir
5 drops Hyssop
4 drops Lemongrass
5 drops Helichrysum
4 drops Wintergreen (or Birch)
2 drops German (Blue) Chamomile*
1 drop Blue Tansy*
* The last two oils are used in Young Living blends, but are not sold by Young Living as individual oils. They can be obtained from Creer Lab, as mentioned above. As for the Helichrysum, if you don't have any, you can make your own from other oils available from Young Living according to the formula given in the last Raindrop Messenger (Nov-Dec 2007,
Vol 5 No 6).
Vol 5 No 6).This past weekend I had a micro-current session to sample a device that is supposed to help heal scars and since have teeth removed and so much dental work, I had the idea it might be worth doing that. Well, it took a long time, the woman said normally scars 'clear' in under a minute and my right side of my face took almost 10 minutes. I broke out in a couple spots the next day where the device was used AND my scar on my right clavicle began to itch and I have a bit of raised rashy area there. So, I have just applied some blue tansy to those areas to see if it helps it clear up. google ai says it could be from whatever they cleaned the device probes with or the device itself causing an allergic response, but I tend to think it's likely just my body expelling something from the dental work, hard to know exactly.
So glad to have come across you. Nori
