Botanical Name: Artemisia dracunculus Botanical Family: Asteraceae (Compositae)
· Extraction Method: Steam Distillation
· Part Used: Leaves and Flowering Tops
· Aroma Note: Top to Middle
Tarragon, often called "The Little Dragon" (dracunculus), is a perennial herb famous in French cuisine. In the world of aromatherapy, it is a potent and chemically unique oil. The aroma is sharp, spicy, and anise-like (reminiscent of licorice), with a herbaceous green undertone. Historically, it was used to treat the bites of venomous creatures and mad dogs. Today, it is recognized as a powerful "mover" of energy—particularly effective at clearing stagnation in the digestive and reproductive systems.
Antispasmodic (powerful), Antiviral, Antibacterial, Carminative, Digestive, Emmenagogue, Laxative, Stimulant (digestive), Vermifuge.
· Digestive: The premier oil for hiccups. It is also highly effective for indigestion, flatulence, and intestinal spasms. It stimulates the secretion of digestive juices and helps the body process heavy meals.
· Reproductive: Helps regulate irregular menstrual cycles and is specifically used to ease painful period cramps (dysmenorrhea) due to its strong antispasmodic properties.
· Respiratory: Useful for allergic conditions like hay fever or spasmodic asthma. It helps calm the "twitchy" response of the respiratory tract.
· Immune System: Acts as an internal cleanser, helping the body rid itself of toxins and intestinal parasites.
Tarragon is the "Oil of Courageous Expression." It is for those who feel "stifled" or paralyzed by fear. When you have something important to say but feel a "knot" in your stomach or throat, Tarragon helps release that tension. It encourages the "fire in the belly" needed to stand up for oneself and move forward with conviction, especially for those who feel they have lost their appetite for life.
1. The "Hiccup Helper": Place 1 drop of Tarragon on a tissue and inhale deeply several times. The antispasmodic action often stops the reflex almost instantly.
2. Anti-Cramp Massage: Mix 2 drops of Tarragon and 2 drops of Clary Sage in a tablespoon of carrier oil. Massage onto the lower abdomen in a clockwise motion during your cycle to relieve cramping.
3. Spring Allergy Support: Diffuse 2 drops of Tarragon with 4 drops of Lemon to help ease the sneezing and respiratory irritation associated with seasonal allergies.
The "Gut Instinct" BlendFor bloating, sluggish digestion, or nervous stomach
· 3 drops Tarragon
· 3 drops Ginger
· 4 drops Orange (Sweet)
Basil, Cedarwood, Clary Sage, Juniper Berry, Lavender, Lime, Mandarin, Pine, and Rosemary.
Use with extreme caution. Tarragon contains methyl chavicol (estragole), which can be toxic in high doses. Avoid during pregnancy and while breastfeeding. It should not be used on children under the age of 12. Use in very low dilutions (max 0.5% – 1%) and only for short periods of time. Avoid if you have a history of estrogen-dependent cancers.
Available sizes: 7ml
