Helichrysum Essential Oil (Organic)

Description

Oil Summary: Organic Helichrysum Essential Oil is one of the rarest and costliest essential oils. Helichrysum essential oil is famous for its many health and lifestyle benefits. It’s a natural medicinal plant that notably possesses potent anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, restorative, and tonic attributes. Organic Helichrysum Essential Oil is often used as an ingredient in skin care formulas and is reputed to reduce the rate of aging by treating wrinkles and stretch marks. Helichrysum is very sensitive to climate and soil composition; a fact that makes it difficult to find therapeutic grade quality suitable for oil production. Any changes in the plant’s environment can significantly affect the chemical structure of the extracted oil. Helichrysum oil primarily consists of neryl-acetate, alpha-pinene, and beta-pinene, camphene, myrcene, limonene, linalool, cineole, nerol, geraniol, and eugenol. Helichrysum oil supports the health of the skin in several ways. First, being a strong antiseptic, it cleans the surface and prevents the growth of bacteria and fungi, both of which can cause various skin irritations, such as acne, rashes, hives, redness, and infections. Applying Helichrysum essential oil on a painful area provides quick relief by lowering inflammation and improving blood flow. Helichrysum promotes the healing of nerves, joints and muscle tissue, and is, therefore, an effective natural treatment for exercise-related sprains, fibromyalgia, and arthritis.
