Tansy (Tanacetum vulgare) as a tool for helping with Wounds
inferred from antimicrobial action
3 sources supporting Tansy for Wounds. Includes scientific publications, books, monographs and traditional-use references.
Mechanistic basis
This use is associated with the plant's antimicrobial action. Further evidence for that pharmacology:
Alginate films incorporating tansy (Tanacetum vulgare) essential oil showed antibacterial properties, demonstrating the antimicrobial activity of tansy oil in an active-packaging application.
An in vitro study of tansy (Tanacetum vulgare) extracts, rich in phenolic acids, characterised their antimicrobial and antioxidant biological activities, supporting the medicinal use of tansy.
Tansy (Tanacetum vulgare) extract showed parasiticidal activity against the fish parasite Ichthyophthirius multifiliis, illustrating the antiparasitic/antimicrobial activity of tansy.
Tansy (Tanacetum vulgare) essential oil showed antibacterial efficiency against ESKAPE pathogens and synergism with antibiotics, supporting the antimicrobial use of tansy oil against resistant infections.
The essential oils and supercritical-CO2 extracts of common tansy (Tanacetum vulgare), among other northern plants, were characterised chemically and showed antimicrobial activities, supporting the antimicrobial use of tansy.
