What is Helichrysum Flower Oil?

Benefits of Helichrysum Flower Oil

• Acts as an anti-inflammatory.
  When applied topically, helichrysum flower oil has been shown to reduce swelling and act as an anti-inflammatory agent. This is likely due to its high levels of inflammation-reducing flavonoids, acetophenones, and phloroglucinols. These anti-inflammatory effects make it a useful oil for treating pain, respiratory, and skin conditions.

• Stimulates skin regeneration.
  Helichrysum Flower oil is widely used in cosmetic products as it has been proven to stimulate the regeneration of damaged skin and reduce the appearance of wrinkles.

• Reduces burnout and exhaustion.
  A 2013 study showed that helichrysum flower oil, combined with other essential oils such as peppermint and basil, can lead to a reduction in fatigue and mental burnout.
