Helichrysum Oil  Helichrysum italicum

Helichrysum has been used in herbal health practices since ancient Greece and the oil is highly valued and sought after for its many health benefits.

Description

Helichrysum is a small perennial herb with narrow, silver leaves and flowers that form a cluster of golden yellow, ball-shaped blossoms. The name “Helichrysum” is derived from the Greek “helios” meaning sun and “chrysos” meaning gold, referring to the color of the flowers. Helichrysum has been used in herbal health practices since ancient Greece and the oil is highly valued and sought after for its many health benefits. Preclinical studies suggest that Helichrysum may support and protect the skin, and reduce the appearance of wrinkles and blemishes, but additional confirming clinical research is needed. Also referred to as the Everlasting or Immortal Flower, Helichrysum is used in anti-aging products for its rejuvenating benefits to the skin.
