Helichrysum Italicum (Immortelle) (France)
Helichrysum Italicum (Immortelle) (France)
Plant family: Asteraceae
Latin name: Helichrysum Italicum (angustifolium)
Plant Part (steam distilled): Flowering tops
Origin: France
Our first helichrysum from France, this exquisite oil has the warmth of the sun-drenched fields of Southern France, a soft, initial floral signature, and then deepens into a resonant herbal finish.
The plants have been distilled with the wisdom and care of a fourth-generation farmer. Known as “Immortelle” or “Everlasting”, Helichrysum has been dubbed “the fountain of youth” because of its reputation as a very high-end, powerful ally for the skin.
From a health standpoint, Helichrysum is a potent anti-inflammatory, cleanses and heals wounds, and reduces scarring (both internal and external) and lessens the appearance of old scars. Applied topically, Helichrysum is a cholesterol balancer and respiratory support, and is known for treating bruises.
On an emotional level, Helichrysum addresses emotional wounds and scarring, and helps to restore inner peace.
