Derived from the Greek words helisso (sun) and chrysos (gold), Helichrysum's name is as regal as its essential oil benefits, from remarkable skin regeneration to wound healing and trauma relief. It has the ability to treat wounds on contact and then heal the scars that follow. Unrivaled in its regenerative effects, it is an essential elixir in everyday skincare routines to smooth out the mile markers of our lives as wrinkles reflect our unique journey. Helichrysum is a healing and restorative powerhouse. It soothes inflammation, while also reducing pain with its built-in analgesic properties. It is a multifaceted aid in acute trauma conditions as well as a daily tonic to keep skin healthy.
HISTORY OF HELICHRYSUM ESSENTIAL OIL
Helichrysum has been used since the civilization of Ancient Greece, where it was commonly used after battles. The name is derived from the Greek word helios meaning 'sun' and chrysos meaning 'gold'. The Helichrysum plant's characteristic 'golden' yellow hue lasts long after it has been picked and dried, which garners the names "Immortelle" or "Everlasting".
In traditional Mediterranean medicine, the Helichrysum plant and oil have played significant roles due to their pharmacological benefits. The Helichrysum flower has been prepared in a variety of ways to treat digestive conditions, skin inflammation, health concerns and wound healing. This includes allergies, acne, colds, cough, constipation, indigestion, acid reflux, liver diseases, gallbladder disorders, infections, candida, insomnia, stomachaches, and bloating.
