Immortalle… the strong aromatic herb grows in clusters of golden yellow ball shaped flowers and the leaves release a distinct aroma when crushed. It thrives in sunshine and in the most deprived soil, our Helichrysum is cultivated and distilled in France. Also known as Everlasting because its yellow color remains even when dried. Therapeutically, it is anti-inflammatory, analgesic, antiseptic, antispasmodic and antidepressant. It is an important oil for wound healing, to help with bruises and broken capillaries and vein health.*

Helichrysum enhances intuition. It is used in Aromatherapy to heal emotional and physical wounds. It is soul healing, helping us break through our deepest, most stuck negative emotions and helps to restore freedom and cultivate compassion. It is an aid for those trying to overcome adversity or emotional trauma (past and present), and experiencing anxiety, agitation and emotional burnout.
