The Herlichrysum essential oil is native to the Mediterranean region, specifically the eastern regions and North Africa. Herlichrysum is predominantly cultivated in Italy, Spain, Former Yugoslavia and France.

[dropcap style=”font-size: 25px; color: #ff9900;”]H[/dropcap]istory of Essential Oil

Helichrysum has traditionally been used in Europe for a large variety of ailments including respiratory complaints (asthma, chronic bronchitis, whooping cough), headaches, liver ailments, migraine, skin conditions (burns, psoriasis, allergies). The herb has traditionally been taken in the form of a decoction or infusion.

The name Helichrysum is derived from the Greek “helios” meaning sun and “chrysos” meaning gold, referring to the color of many of the flowers of species in this genus. Helichrsyum oil is expensive due to the immense amount of herb required to make the essential oil. It takes one ton of hand harvested Helichrysum flowering to yield around one kilo of Helichrysum essential oil.

The Helichrysum essential oil is extracted from the flower of the plant.

The essential oil is 100% pure & natural. Meaning, the essential oil comes from plants that are free from any kind of dilutions, chemicals or pesticides usage.

[dropcap style=”font-size: 25px; color: #ff9900;”]M[/dropcap]ethod of Extraction

The Helichrysum essential oil is extracted via Steam Distillation from the flower of the plant.

The botanical material (Helichrysum Angustifolium) is placed in a still and hot steam. The aromatic molecules from the plant material are released as the hot steam excretes out the oils kept within the plant material. The molecules of these precious and volatile oils escape the plant and evaporate into the steam.

The temperature of the steam is carefully controlled to ensure that the plant material and the essential oil are not burned but is hot enough for the extraction of the essential oils out of the plant.

The steam which contains the essential oil passes through a cooling system to condense the steam into a liquid. The liquid substance which contains both water and the essential oil are separated. The essential oils are then stored in a dark and cool environment to maintain optimal potency levels and reduce oxidation.

[dropcap style=”font-size: 25px; color: #76bc41;”]C[/dropcap]emistry Testing
