So you want to know more about Helichrysum essential oil? Well, you’ve come to the right place! Let’s dig into how the helichrysum plant’s gorgeous yellow blooms got their name, how they’ve made a comeback after over-harvesting, and what the unique chemical structure of their essential oil can do for you.

Here are some quick, fun facts to get you started:

  • The word “helichrysum” comes from Latin and Greek roots, meaning “gold spiral,” and refers to the plant’s bright golden flowers.
  • As over-harvesting for essential oil production has put incredible pressure on wild helichrysum, Young Living’s form of responsible helichrysum agriculture at the Dalmatia Aromatic Farm and Distillery in Croatia helps to protect it and serves as a model for better practices.
  • In order to grow the flowers in an agricultural setting, Young Living imported special rocks to the farm that replicate the stony soil helichrysum thrives.
  • Helichrysum is known as “Immortelle” or “the Everlasting Flower,” because the flowers maintain their vibrant color even when they’re cut and dried.

Now that you know the background, let’s talk about what’s in it for you!
