Description: The aroma of Helichrysum *Italicum is sweet like honey with earthy and ashy undertones. Also known as “Italian straw flower” or “everlasting”, this essential oil is a powerful cell regenerator for open wounds, scaring and anti-aging. The Corsican variety is a bit more potent than the other two offered within Wisdom of the Earth's portfolio. Each regional origin offers its own vibrational benefits based on the energetics of the land and the differences in climate patterns. It is anti-inflammatory, anti-spasmodic, and a natural antihistamine. Helichrysum can be useful in improving liver, spleen/pancreas and gallbladder functions. It helps to regulate the flow of qi energy and blood in the body and is useful for asthma, chronic coughs, headaches, migraines, concussions, neuralgia, cholesterol balance, muscle tension, bruising and stagnant blood. Vibrationally, Helichrysum is second to Rose (the highest vibration essential oil at about 526Hz) and can help to lift us out of deeply repressed emotional patterns such as depression from long standing frustration, resentment, anger, bitterness, stubborn negative attitudes, childhood trauma or rigid and self-denying patterns. On the other side we may cultivate compassion for self and others with this essence as an igniter.
