These helichrysum species are used in traditional ethnobotanical medicines of the region, and have similar therapeutic functions to the more commonly known Helichrysum italicum from eastern Europe. The four types of helichrysum essential oils are combined with rosehip seed oil in the popular Flower of the Sun blend.
Bottle size: 1/2 oz (15 ml)

With more than 600 species, common helichrysum grows on every continent. Very few oils can boast such a broad spectrum of effective therapeutic use, promoting a healthy inflammatory response, cell regeneration and systemic antioxidant support.
Helichrysum essential oil is a vital component of cosmetic skin care formulations, and is reputed to support the multiplication of the skin's natural collagen count, contributing to the reduction of wrinkles. Supportive in the healing of wounds (internal and external), bruises, and scar tissue (both recent and established), helichrysum significantly enhances skin health, regeneration and beauty.
Its overall cleansing effect and its ability to support a healthy inflammatory response make helichrysum a great support to the respiratory, immune, and neurological system providing mood uplifting and stress reduction benefits to boot.

One ton of helichrysum flowering tops yields about one kilo of essential oil.
Its name reveals helichrysum's divine nature: derived from the Greek helios, meaning sun, and chrysos, meaning gold, it refers to the golden-yellow color of many of the flowers in this genus.
Floracopeia was established to help preserve and promote the use of botanical medicines as solutions to the widespread ecological destruction taking place in the world, and the loss of medicinal plants on which traditional medical systems depend. We provide our customers with the highest quality essential oils and other botanical aromatic treasures through the promotion of ecological sustainability, organic agriculture, and agro-forestry projects.
Our products are acclaimed for their therapeutic-grade, high quality at affordable prices. We provide artisanal quality oils produced by small family-based distillers. We buy directly from farmers and distillers, thus supporting the local economies in which the plants are grown. We do not buy oils from the world-brokers. Floracopeia is founded with a strong medical orientation and is involved in a number of global eco-projects based in grass roots health care, spirituality, reforestation projects, and the preservation and restoration of ethno-botanical culture.
