I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.
The Wiki page has a lot of very interesting information about its ethnomedical and culinary uses.
A very cool detail is the mention of a blue oil produced from the related Tanacetum annuum. That oil contains a blue molecule called chamazulene.
Looks like tansy, tanacetum vulgare.
Thanks! I got very excited because I thought it might be Chamomile and there is a ton around here now. They do smell very nice... Apparently they were used to brew a tea to kill off internal parasites in the past, but I am not sure it's a good idea to prepare that as a tea.
