Helichrysum gymnocephalum, Organic: Madagascar (Helichrysum gymnocephalum)

The word Helichrysum is derived from the Greek word “Helios” meaning sun and “chrysos” meaning gold. With the over 600 species grown in different parts around the world, there many similarities and differences in the chemistry of the plant. The small yellow flowers of Helichrysum gymnocephalum contain some of the same healing chemistry as eucalyptus and the oil is often thought to be quite similar in smell. Traditionally this plant was used as an antiseptic, pain relief, aphrodisiac, and to assist lung and breathing issues.

Often sold in the market as Helichrysum italicum this oil is quite different and should not be considered interchangeable. Helichrysum italicum has more overall therapeutic benefits, like its wound and nerve healing properties. However, the low cost of Helichrysum gymnocephalum and its powerful pain relief properties make this an oil we love to use for our healing practices. A few drops, rubbed on location, will quickly relieve even the most intense pain.
