- General Information: Helichrysum italicum, commonly known as immortelle or everlasting, is a small perennial herb native to the Mediterranean region. It is well-known for its bright yellow flowers and its use in traditional medicine and aromatherapy. The plant is often used in essential oil form, valued for its distinct, earthy, and slightly honeyed aroma. It produces one of the most valuable and expensive essential oils, highly regarded by aromatherapists, with 40-50% ester content, 30% sesquiterpenes, and over 10% diketones. It is considered the arnica of aromatherapy.
- Medicinal Use: Helichrysum italicum has a range of medicinal properties. It is known for its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antimicrobial, and cell-regenerating effects due to the presence of esters (40% antispasmodic and soothing effects) and diketones. Its rejuvenating action on cells makes it a valuable ally in combating skin aging. Helichrysum oil helps with eczema, acne, skin irritations, burns, and scars. It can dissolve old hematomas and assist with cases of phlebitis. The oil contains hydrocarbons, flavonoids, kaempferol, quercetin, sesquiterpenes, luteolin, and neroli ethyl ester, which contribute to its therapeutic properties. Helichrysum has excellent healing properties, helps restore skin health, and delays aging due to its strong cell regenerative action. It is anti-inflammatory, anti-infectious, healing, and soothing for the stomach. It accelerates the healing of dermatitis, burns, acne, herpes, wounds, eczema, and bruises. It is non-toxic and does not cause sensitivities. Traditionally, Helichrysum has been used to treat infections, asthma, arthritis, and headaches. Herbalists use Helichrysum to regulate energy flow, enhance bile flow, absorb heat, and reduce inflammation. Aromatherapists consider it one of the best oils for relaxation, reducing tension from stress and anxiety.
- How to Use: To use Helichrysum italicum, particularly in essential oil form, dilute a few drops in a carrier oil such as jojoba or coconut oil before applying it to the skin to treat scars or other skin conditions. For inhalation, add a few drops of the essential oil to a diffuser or a bowl of hot water, and inhale the steam for respiratory support. For example, you can mix 2-3 drops of Helichrysum essential oil with a tablespoon of coconut oil and apply it to the affected area twice daily for skin benefits. You can also add a few drops to a diffuser to create a calming atmosphere that reduces stress and tension.
