Helichrysum (Helichrysum italicum) oil is extracted by stream distillation from the flower. The plant is from the Asteraceae or Compositae (daisy) family, and has its origins in Yugoslavia and Corsica. It is classified as Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) by the FDA.
Distillation yields an oil that is very gentle and soothing, with a fragrance that is uplifting to the subconscious. With a limonene content of 8-13%, it's a very good antioxidant, but not a great one, relative to other essential oils.
The actions of helichrysum oil are anti-coagulant (it will dissolve blood clots — making it an excellent substitute for aspirin therapy), anesthetic, anti-spasmodic, anti-viral, mucolytic (thins mucus and other body secretions containing mucin) and expectorant. It has also been studied for its ability to aid in the regeneration of tissues, and has been shown to reduce scar tissue and skin discolorations.
Helichrysum oil has also been researched for use with various skin conditions.
Helichrysum is a truly amazing chelating agent, a major chelator of metallics, but also of chemicals. Because of this, and because it also stimulates liver cell function.
Clinical research has shown that helichrysum and ledum work synergistically to break down and dissolve the fat cells in the liver, so that the chemicals that are in the fat cells can be released and transported out of the liver.
According to recent research, helichrysum oil shows an ability to aid in the regeneration of nerves. It's also an excellent liver protectant, stimulant and detoxifier, and helps to balance the blood pressure.
One of its most helpful properties, however, is helichrysum's ability to chelate chemicals and other toxins from the body. This makes it an excellent oil for the support of the heart and liver cleansing.
