Helichrysum: Considered a miracle oil, helichrysum may be the single most important essential oil for skin care and regeneration. It's also one of the most expensive, and worth every penny. Not only calming to the skin (anti-inflammatory), but it multiplies the production of collagen, eliminates free radicals (toxins), activates cutaneous microcirculation, and inhibits lipid peroxidation, which can prevent wrinkles. Powerfully anti-inflammatory, skin rejuvenating and regenerating, analgesic, used for wounds and scar-tissue, and rheumatoid arthritis.

Helichrysum is known for the "Everlasting" and "Immortal" Essential Oil that makes the skin smooth, soft and moisturized. This essential oil prevents dehydration and cracking of the skin, stops bleeding and supports tissue repair. Helichrysum is known for its skin-rejuvenating properties, aiding in the healing of scar tissue, wounds, bruises, burns, acne, eczema, chronic dermatitis, tissue trauma and broken capillaries. It also has remarkable effects on sensitive and inflamed skin, protecting skin from drying and helping relieve psoriasis. Helichrysum is said to have the power to break through the deepest, most "stuck" emotions and can restore compassion for others and oneself. It is also said to enhance intuition.
