Our Helichrysum Italicum plants are grown on the sunny shores of the Adriatic Sea, in beautiful Croatia and Bosnia-Hercegovina. The plants are harvested by hand and brought in for distillation.
It may take from 1 to over 1.5 tons of flowers to extract 1 litre of Helichrysum Italicum essential oil. Clusters of yellow flower heads appear in summer, and the oil extracted from them is used for medicinal purposes.
Organic Helichrysum essential oil is warm, sweet and woody, with the strongest anti-inflammatory properties of all the essential oils.
Why we love Helichrysum Italicum
Aromatherapy's healing wonder is still relatively unknown in many regions, while interest in this natural healer is growing with good reason.
Bruise relief
For severe bruising, apply the oil directly on the bruise, either pure or diluted to 5 to 10 percent in a vegetable oil. Apricot oil works well, and rose hip oil is another favourite.
A market that noticed
Because of high demand, the world market price of this oil went up 100 percent within two years, from 2011 to 2013. The Helichrysum Italicum oil from Croatia and Bosnia-Hercegovina that we offer remains very attractive for the market.
