Helichrysum essential oil, also known as Everlasting or Immortelle, is derived from a small artisan organic distiller located in the Balkans, specifically in Bosnia and Herzegovina. This distiller specializes in producing this exquisite golden flower, celebrated for its healing properties. Our Helichrysum essential oil from Corsica is widely regarded as the top choice among aromatherapists and skincare formulators due to its high quality and potent effects. To offer a more affordable yet effective alternative, we provide an organic Helichrysum italicum that is USDA-NOP certified. After thorough GCMS analysis, it has been confirmed to contain the beneficial compounds similar to our Corsican Helichrysum oil, ensuring a powerful therapeutic presence.
Helichrysum essential oil is used extensively in massage therapy for its remarkable ability to ease strained muscles, making it excellent for sports-related muscular aches, arthritis, and rheumatism. Beyond the benefits of massage and muscular issues, the benefits of Helichrysum italicum essential oil extend to various skin conditions such as dermatitis, eczema, rosacea, acne, cuts, scrapes, burns, and wounds, promoting healing and skin regeneration. Additionally, Helichrysum is highly valued in anti-aging skincare formulations for its regenerative properties. In aromatherapy, this oil is known for supporting the healing process of surgical scars, burns, and bruises, contributing to faster recovery and skin vitality.
Blend Helichrysum with Foraha and Rose Hip CO2 carrier oil to care for wounds, scars or wrinkles. Shirley Price says blending with Evening Primrose can accelerate healing of bed sores and return elasticity to thin aged skin.
