Helichrysum (Everlasting) Essential Oil

Profile

“The Everlasting personality profile is one of quietness, introversion and youth, with a quiet knowing that comes from being sure of the spirituality of all things. The Everlasting person is descried as being spiritually highly evolved and often seems fairy-like, having high consciousness and mental agility.” (Worwood V. The fragrant mind. Doubleday, Great Britain, 1995.)

Helichrysum angustifolium, is a highly aromatic herb-like plant that grows to around 200 ft. It consists of a woody branched stemmed base, with silvery-green scented leaves, and an abundance of clustered small yellow flower heads. When dried the brightly colored, daisy-like flowers retain their color and shape- hence the name Everlasting or Immortelle. The papery flowers produce a limited quantity of oil. The Oil is steam distilled from the flowering tops of the shrub. It is a pale-yellow, oily liquid with a powerful and diffusive unique odor. The odor is sweet-fruity and tea-like with an excellent tenacity. Helichrysum is also known as Immortelle or Everlasting.

Helichrysum Essential Oil is very costly and hard to come by. The life span of a helichrysum plant is about four to six years. The average essential oil yield per one ton of helichrysum plant matter is one liter of essential oil.  We can therefore conclude that the amount of plant material required, is the reason for the high cost. Take my word for it, even a small amount of this Special Gift from Mother Nature is worth it.

FACT: The botanical name Helichrysum is derived from the Greek words of ‘Helios’ meaning Sun and ‘Chrysos’ meaning Gold. Used extensively in Ancient Greece, as a culinary plant and herbal medicine remedies for healing scars and other significant skin complaints, due to aging.

AUROMA QUALITY

AUROMA Essential Oils are the highest quality essential oils available in the world today. Each oil is from an individual farmer and from a particular year’s harvest. As AUROMA knows each of the Farmers, they guarantee the authenticity of each oil. Just to be certain, they analyze each oil using the latest state-of-the-art GC-MS technology, which can detect impurities to one part per billion. Yes! AUROMA represents the best there is in Essential Oils. We can supply the following documentation: Certificates of Analysis and Safety Data Sheets (SDS)

To meet the stringent demands of the professional aromatherapist, AUROMA has drafted the following seven requirements that an essential oil needs to meet so it can be used with confidence:

  1. BIO-TYPE: Not only does an oil have to come from a defined botanical species, but from a particular genetic strain.
  2. CHEMO-TYPE: The same botanical species can often produce completely different constituents.
  3. GEO-TYPE: Oils from a particular area are often of superior quality. Examples are Rose Oil Bulgarian or Sandalwood East Indian.
  4. COMPLETE OR WHOLE: The oil should come from a single distillation and should not be rectified.
  5. WILD OR ORGANIC: Where possible, AUROMA always selects the wild growing plants for distillation. When wild types are not available, AUROMA commissions farmers who do not use pesticides or chemical fertilizers. Certified Organic options are available.
  6. EX STILL: AUROMA distills small lots of expensive oils in-house and advises farmers on distillation methods.
  7. ANALYYSIS: Oils are tested by AUROMA in Australia with the most advanced state-of- the-art equipment in the world.

CAUTIONS

Helichrysum is non-toxic. It is a very mild skin irritant which does not cause skin sensitization or phototoxicity. (Tisserand R, Bolacs T, Essential oil safety. Churchill Livingston, UK)

The Aromatherapy Place does not recommend ingesting essential oils unless a specific dosage instruction is given to a consumer by a qualified medical practitioner.

Do not apply directly to skin. May case skin irritation in some individuals.  Always dilute with a carrier oil. A skin test is recommended prior to use on the skin.

Keep out of reach of children. If you are pregnant, nursing, taking medication, or have a medical condition, consult a health professional prior to use. Keep away from eyes and mucous membranes. 

Please check with a professional for safe essential oils to use with children or the elderly. Do not use essential oils on a child younger than two years without professional advice.

STORAGE

We recommended that Essential Oils or 100% pure and natural Blends be stored in amber or cobalt blue glass containers to maintain freshness and attain maximum shelf life. Keep away from excessive heat and light. A bathroom, bedroom or kitchen cabinet should be a good storage location.
