💙 The Calming Power of Creation: Exploring the Therapeutic Benefits of Blue Tansy, Helichrysum & Sandalwood
At Threefold Grace, we believe God’s creation is full of gifts — not just for the body, but for the mind too. Long before modern skincare, people turned to the natural world for comfort, healing, and peace. Essential oils, gently distilled from plants, have been used for generations to support wellness and bring a sense of calm to everyday life.
Today, we’re sharing a closer look at three of the precious oils found in our Blue Haven Body Butter, exploring their rich history and traditional therapeutic benefits beyond skincare.
🌿 Blue Tansy — A Soothing Gift from Nature
With its vibrant blue color and sweet, herbaceous aroma, Blue Tansy (Tanacetum annuum) has been cherished in aromatherapy circles for its calming properties. Traditionally, Blue Tansy has been used to:
✔ Ease feelings of tension and stress
✔ Promote relaxation and emotional balance
✔ Support clear, comfortable breathing
✔ Calm the mind after a long day
Its rich, fruity scent is often described as uplifting yet grounding — a little reminder that even in chaos, peace is within reach.
🌼 Helichrysum — The Everlasting Flower of Renewal
Known as the “Immortelle” or “Everlasting Flower,” Helichrysum (Helichrysum italicum) has been treasured for centuries for its ability to support the body as a whole. In traditional wellness practices, Helichrysum has been used to:
✔ Soothe emotional discomfort and promote resilience
✔ Support the body’s natural recovery after minor bumps or bruises
✔ Encourage a sense of renewal and grounding
✔ Uplift the mood and quiet anxious thoughts
Its warm, honeyed scent carries the quiet strength of creation — gentle yet enduring, like God’s care for us.
🌲 Sandalwood — Grounding, Comforting, Centering
From ancient prayer rituals to modern wellness routines, Sandalwood (Santalum album or Santalum spicatum) has long been valued for its ability to calm both body and mind. Its rich, earthy aroma is traditionally used to:
✔ Encourage stillness and spiritual reflection
✔ Soothe nervous tension and anxious thoughts
✔ Promote mental clarity and focus
✔ Create a peaceful, grounded atmosphere
In many cultures, Sandalwood is considered a sacred oil — a quiet companion for prayer, reflection, and finding rest.
✨ More Than Skin Deep
While we carefully select these essential oils for the skin-loving care they offer, we also celebrate their ability to create an atmosphere of peace, calm, and quiet restoration. Whether you’re applying your Blue Haven Body Butter or simply enjoying the lingering aroma, may it serve as a small reminder that true rest — for your skin and your mind — comes from the One who made it all.
“Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” — Matthew 11:28
“You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in You” Isaiah 26:3
