About the Plant:
The Helichrysum Oil comes from the small, bushy, evergreen sub-shrub, which grows no higher than two feet. It has a woolly stem, with linear silver-grey leaves and clusters of small mustard-yellow flowers.
Where it Grows:
This variety of Helichrysum is native to the Mediterranean region (mostly France, Italy, Bosnia, and Croatia). Amrita® Aromatherapy is proud to have Certified Organic Italicum Helichrysum Essential Oil from SE Europe.
Traditional Uses and Lore:
The Helichrysum Essential Oil is a relatively new oil, only first being distilled in the 1970s. It was made popular by the French when they discovered its extremely therapeutic benefits for healing bruises and scars. The plant has been used traditionally for bronchitis, asthma, burns, rheumatism, headache, migraines, allergies, and liver ailments. It has also been used for skin care and perfume for centuries.
