Product Abstract: Helichrysum has silvery gray, grassy foliage with a collection of golden flowers that blossom in midsummer. Helichrysum italicum grows wild in Mediterranean regions with dry, high altitudes receiving a lot of sun exposure. Also known as Immortelle or Everlasting, its name 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, whose colour last long after they have been picked and dried. Helichrysum has been used since the time of the ancient Greeks, who often used it after battles.
Cautions: Dilute before use; for external use only. May cause skin irritation in some individuals; a skin test is recommended prior to use. Contact with eyes should be avoided.
Storage: It is recommended that oils packaged in metal containers (for safe shipping) be transferred into dark glass containers to maintain freshness and attain maximum shelf life.

Rating: This oil is nothing short of amazing. After receiving the unfortunate diagnosis of cancer that would be taken care of with radiation, I put this on the radiated skin every day after treatment along with Lavender mixed into a Calendula cream carrier. The oncologist said that this was the first time he never saw tissue damage from a course of radiation. A real keeper! And, just to let you know...I'm cancer-free.

Rating: I purchased this EO earlier this year. I did so after reading many reviews concerning its healing and pain relieving properties. After using this EO, I am of the opinion that, not only do I like the smell (kinda like honey),it really works!
I've used it on myself to fade small scars and heal some minor burns successfully. It was used on my husband when both of his legs, from the knees down, was severly attacked by sand fleas. It was also used on my daughter to fade and heal a surgery scar.
In each situation, wounds healed quickly and scars faded significantly or completely. This EO is worth including in your inventory!

Rating: I liked this so much, I bought a larger bottle. It's spendy, for sure, but the healing power of this oil cannot be understated -- and the price at NDA cannot be beat. I have a couple of oil serums I use to support healthy skin, and my dermatologist is amazed at the improvement in the skin on my face and décolletage. On advice of others, I just created a pain-relief blend, and my husband says it is amazing. We will always have this oil in our medicine cabinet and in our oil blends.

Rating: Thought long and hard about spending so much money on this oil ( although there are more expensive oils out there....in my research came across NEWDIRECTIONSAROMATICS....and because the price for this gem of oils was the best I could find...voila...decision easily made ..( based on experience with other oils from this company )...I have arthritis and immediately added Helichcysum to the blend of ginger, cypress and coconut oil......the previous blend was effective but I notice an immediate difference upon adding this oil.....pain relief was faster,..with 10 minutes.....when using a blend for chronic pain like arthritis and back pain.....use your blend regularly to avoid flareups...not just when the pain presents itself.....have been doing this for 3 months now and have not what I refer to as bad pain days......Helichcrysum is a nervine, which means not only does it deal with nerve pain but it can actually rebuild damaged nerves.......My husband has neuropathy ( he is diabetic ) I have been massaging this into his feet regularly and it is definitely helping with the pain......can' see if nerves are being repaired....but I did my research on this essential oil and I trust the sources fo my information....so time will tell....in the meantime if your reading this ....do not be afraid to try this amazing oil......it will be money well spent...
Rating: I love this oil, and this is one of the best prices I've found. I had a bad rash under my breasts and on my upper abdomen, I tried every product I could find, some would soothe for a while but nothing healed the rash. I took this oil and mixed with some of my homemade shea/cocoa butter/coconut oil butter, I would rub the oil mixture in at least once a day and I could literally feel the rash decreasing and going away. I will never be without a bottle of this oil in my collection
Rating: Very nice, but not quite as strong as I expected. It definitely is a good deal for the price however.

Rating: Have some on the way, can't wait to try it on my aches and pain, and skin ailments!

Rating: I used this on my 11 year olds warts on her toe. I took her to a doctor and had them burned off but they came back worse. After rubbing this oil on her toe once in the am and once in the pm, her warts were gone in a week. You can not even see where they were. Her skin is baby soft on that toe. It was truly remarkable.
Rating: Wow... this is some beautiful oil. I am in love with the scent. It's like chamomile and yarrow had a beautiful baby... helichrysum. This is a strong one so you can use it sparingly. Great in my pain rub and on bruises... like other reviewers have said. I split a sample bottle with a friend since it's pretty expensive - but it will not disappoint.

Rating: I use this Helichrysum almost every day. I bruise easily and if I get to the oil on time, My bruises do not turn black and blue. It also works well for pain. It is an oil I use in my pain mixtures. New Directions has a great price and product. Do not leave it behind if you travel.

Rating: I had read so many articles about the wonders of helichrysum that I wanted to try it for myself. It seems like the sort of thing a person should just have on hand for first aid. I read that it helped with fibromyalgia pain so I wanted to try it for myself. I put several drops of the helichrysum in my palm & added about a half teaspoon of almond oil and rubbed it into my shoulder area. (The worst of the soreness involves the entire upper arm, shoulder mechanism and underarm area.) I did this with each side. It seems to take about 15 minutes or so, but I believe I am experiencing about a 50% reduction in the pain by doing this, and if I make 2 applications a day it works quite well. I know many people may be unimpressed at the \"only\" 50% reduction in pain, but if you have suffered with fibro for decades and virtually NOTHING has worked on the pain, you become impressed.
That\'s why I am writing this review - I want to let others know of my experience. It just might help them. Now - - this stuff has a real scent, so new users, be aware. It\'s not like anything else I have ever smelled to compare it to. It\'s not particularly appealing, but has a kind of medicinal smell that one associates with the kinds of things that pack a healing wallop. Because it works I\'m getting fonder and fonder of it! (This remark is for someone who has never smelled it. It is as unique and pungent as something like eucalyptus. I\'m not saying it smells like eucalyptus (it doesn\'t) but it\'s strong & medicinal smelling like it.)
This is one of those spendy oils, but for pain relief, it\'s worth every penny. I may learn more good things this EO does & will perhaps later add to this initial report, but because someone else might benefit by knowing it helped relieve fibro pain in someone almost nothing has ever helped, I wanted to get the word out.
One other comment: there are lots of warnings out there that tell you to beware of your source on this particular EO. Since it worked, I believe we have our answer here that this is a quality product.

Rating: I had intended to purchase the other Helichrysum and as it turns out I\'m glad I didnt! I ws able to formulate a good pain balm blending this with three other herbs in a butter and beeswax and am very delighted to report not only has this oil blend actually improved what I felt a good product as it was.
I have Raynauds among other issues . Raynauds can only be helped by heat , not pain pills.....the salve has worked for fibro pain (no its not another miracle herb that cures all the ails you) but for neuropathy and Raynauds , wonderful. With the other herbs in my blend I can now have a multifunctional product that is not necessarily formulated for one condition. Now, to find that special something that self heats when exposed to air and my product will be DONE!
This is not an unpleasant scent as you will want to reduce it but with one of the other scents in my blend...nice and fresh!
Rating: I have read much information about the EO Helichrysum and the importance of making sure it is a very high quality oil to be able to get the results required. I ordered the Helichrysum italicum from New Directions for a bad case of dry, cracking and itching eczema on the hands. I mixed it with German Chamomile in a base of fractionated coconut oil and made sure it was applied a number of times daily. The results have been amazing!! The healing and improvement was noticable overnight and will soon be gone completely. It is an excellent quality essential oil and I am so very pleased with the results of this case and would highly recommend the use of this oil.

Rating: I was pleased to find a source for heliocrysum that is as good as the one I have been buying from Europe. I am very pleased with this heliocrysum , it is very fresh. I use it as a stand alone, in custom blends and in reflexology.
