Helichrysum Essential Oil (African)
Average Product Rating: 4 / 5 (Based on 4 Customer Reviews)
Botanical Name: Helichrysum splendidum
Plant Part: Flowers
Extraction Method: Steam Distilled
Origin: South Africa
Description: Helichrysum has shining, gray-silver grass foliage with a collection of golden everlasting flowers that blossom in midsummer.
Color: Pale yellow to yellow liquid.
Common Uses: Helichrysum African Essential Oil is extremely respected for its skin healing properties. It is commonly applied to burns, older sun-damaged skin, and to minimize scarring. It is very effective as an anti-microbial agent, anti-fungal agent, and for use in creams and lotions due to its ability to filter UV rays. Helichrysum Oil can be used to soothe away deep emotional stress and diffuse anger and destructive feelings.
Consistency: Thin
Note: Middle
Strength of Aroma: Medium
Blends well with: Chamomile, Lavender, Clary Sage, Rose, Clove Bud and any of the oils from the citrus oil family.
Aromatic Scent: Helichrysum African Essential Oil has a powerful scent that can be described as a floral mint. It is both earthy and fresh.
History: The word Helichrysum 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. Helichrysum has been used since the time of the ancient Greeks for its great wound healing ability, and was used often after battles.
Cautions: Helichrysum Essential Oil is non-toxic, non-irritating and non-sensitizing. Avoid use during pregnancy.

Helichrysum fragrance can take a little getting used but when familiar with the characteristics this one is beautiful. I am just beginning to work with this Helichrysum and appreciating..... Effective and quick inhalant: cools and soothes heated emotions and helpful with opening slightly stuffy sinus - make softer and more inviting by blending. I am starting to work with it in warm compress and massage oils for achy over worked hands and liking the results so far. Apt name...splendidum

I love this oil, I made soap with the Helichrysum water and mixed a small amount of this Helichrysum oil with Rosehip seed oil and the smell was floral and light. I just love it mixed with other EO and carrier oils. I was worried that the smell would be over powering but it wasn't and I will definately be using this product again and again.

I really like this one. I use it on its own all the time, but for those of you who are not to fond of this smell, keep in mind that it is a Mid to Base Note, which means that it will serve as a good foundation in a mix of essential oils. I for example do not like Ginger in its pure form, but mixed with other essential oil it is absolutly amazing.

Never heard of this oil before buying. Can't tell much about its healing proprerties but the smell is terrible, in my opinion. Very strong and obtrusive. Wasn't able to use it.
New Directions Aromatics Response:
African Helichrysum is a relatively new Essential Oil, and has not yet gained popular acceptance. It should not be confused with our other Helichrysum, as the African variety has a completely different botanical name.
The fragrance is consistent with what the African Helichrysum should smell like. It is best described as being a combination of floral and mint. It is certainly a strong product, and one we expect to grow in popularity as more literature becomes available.
It may also interest customers to know that the distillery we have purchased from is one of the most reputable companies in Africa.
