About Helichysum The Everlasting or Immortal oil. Some describe its aroma as honey like. Historically it has been used for skin irritations, bruising, sprains and joint or arthritic pain. It has very strong anti-inflammatory properties and has been known to aid in blood circulation, reduce thrombosis and aid in hypertension It has also been historically used to detoxify and stimulated the liver cell function. Sourcing this as an organic oil that is properly harvested and distilled has proven difficult. Carefully qualify the oil you use. Typical Applications Helichrysum can be applied topically for arthritis, joint and back pain, sprains, bruising, cuts, scrapes, minor burns, bites, and skin conditions. It can be used neat (undiluted) or with a quality carrier oil. The carrier oil is recommended especially for sensitive skin. Blend equal parts of helichrysum and eucalyptus for an effective direct application or light massage blend for arthritis. Apply with a carrier like coconut oil for rosacea, scars or sagging skin. Apply directly with light massage to areas of thrombosis irritation. Helichrysum is certified as GRAS by the FDA. Research: Helichrysum has been studied in Europe for regeneration of nerves, and improving skin conditions and circulation. The International Journal of Antimicrobial Agents evaluated the inhibitory effects of helychysum properties on the growth of Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 6538P, MRSA and MSSA isolates). The results indicate that the H. italicum extract had an inhibitory effect on S. aureus strains reducing their growth.
