Uses for Essential Oils~Helichrysum

(Pronounced hell-ĭ-cry-some)

I just recently was introduced to Helichrysum essential oil and have discovered its vast array of uses.  Helichrysum is a plant related very closely to the daisy and the oil comes from the flowers.  Like most essential oils Helichrysum is antibacterial and antiviral, but is also an expectorant and mucolytic.  It also has anticoagulant, antispasmodic and antioxidant properties. Helichrysum essential oil can be used to help control bleeding to helping control cholesterol levels.  Other common uses for Helichrysum include, tooth abscess, detoxification, earaches, eczema, psoriasis, tinnitus and viral infections.  Helichrysum essential oil can also chelate heavy metals from the body making it a great blood cleanser.            

In your medicine cabinet, Helichrysum Oil can replace:

·         Tylenol or other pain relievers

·         Mederma or other scar reducer creams

·         Cortosone or other topical steroid creams

Application Methods for Helichrysum Oil

·         Applied neat  (with no dilution)  

·         Diffuse or inhale aroma directly

·         Place 1-2 drops in a veggie capsule and take internally (make sure you are only taking therapeutic grade Helichrysum oil internally, like dōTERRA brand)
