Product Abstract: Helichrysum essential oil has silvery gray, grassy foliage with a collection of golden flowers that blossom in midsummer. Helichrysum italicum grows wild in Mediterranean regions with dry, high altitudes receiving a lot of sun exposure. Also known as Immortelle or Everlasting, helichrysum essential oil’s name is derived from the Greek word helios meaning ‘sun’ and chrysos meaning ‘gold’. This is a reference to the golden color of many of the flowers from this botanical genus, whose colour last long after they have been picked and dried. Helichrysum essential oil has been used since the time of the ancient Greeks, who often used it after battles.
