Corsican Helichrysum Essential Oil

Helichrysum, a member of the daisy family Asteraceae, is commonly known as the “Everlasting” or “Immortelle” flower due to its ability to retain its vibrant yellow blossoms even after they have been dried. Young Living sources much of its Helichrysum essential oil from Croatia, but the Corsican variety comes from the island of Corsica.

In Corsica, on the Simiane-la-Rotonde farm in France, Young Living has replicated the preferred rocky soil environment of Helichrysum to cultivate the previously wild-crafted blossoms. After a careful harvest, the flowers undergo steam distillation to extract the precious essential oil, resulting in one of the world’s most sought-after oils.

Corsican Helichrysum essential oil is prized for its earthy and comforting aroma. The oil’s distinct fragrance makes it a popular choice in aromatherapy, where it is used to create a calming and grounding ambiance. The aroma of Helichrysum can help promote relaxation and emotional balance.

Aside from its aromatic benefits, Helichrysum essential oil offers various potential therapeutic uses. It is often used topically to support skin health and promote a youthful complexion. The oil is believed to have regenerative properties, making it a valuable addition to skincare routines and products. Additionally, Helichrysum may be used for soothing massage experiences, particularly in combination with a carrier oil.
