From Herbal Descriptions by Truman Berst: #3186 TANSY (Tanacetum vulgaris) Used to expel worms, especially round and thread worms; drink the tea while fasting for this purpose. Tansy may be used to promote menstruation; the American Indians used it as an abortifacient. It may also be used for hysteria, jaundice, dropsy, kidney weakness, flatulence and stomach spasms, gout, epilepsy, and low fever. As a wash it is helpful for skin problems, blemishes, bruises, sprains, scabies, and as a compress for rheumatic joints. In the Middle Ages it was often used on the floors to deter fleas and other insects. CAUTION: an overdose can be poisonous and even fatal.
