I'm jumping around, I'm happy to see your recipe.

What is tansy, I don't have gout.

Some call is a noxious weed. Some

call it an herbal remedy. How about

intestinal worms? Has been used for

those too.

 

Whatever, you can add it to your food too

and it grows quite well with nice little

yellow flowers in my back yard

along with all the other fun herbs.*

 

Here are a few web pages about it:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tanacetum

http://www.botanical.com/botanical/mgmh/t/tansy-05.html

http://www.vet.purdue.edu/depts/addl/toxic/plant12.htm

 

Only low toxicity due to alkaloids but not

advised for those who are pregnant. It has

been used in the past as an abortifacient.

Ah, this page has lots of interesting facts:

I think Herbalpedia will give you the most

information but I think it is only available

on CD although I thought I had found back issues

someplace on line. Can't find them at the

moment but I have the CD.

* My wife insists that I cannot take any hemlock

to my boss for a nice afternoon tea. Darn.

Mayhaps the belladonna berries? A little

henbane? Datura would certainly enliven

his little life. Oh, uh, sorry about that.
