Helichrysum essential oil

Helichrysum essential oil

Many people know helichrysum, but they don’t know much about helichrysum essential oil. Today I will take you understand the helichrysum essential oil from four aspects.

Introduction of Helichrysum Essential Oil

Helichrysum essential oil comes from a natural medicinal plant that’s used to make a beneficial essential oil that boasts many different full-body benefits due to its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antimicrobial, antifungal and antibacterial properties. Helichrysum essential oil, typically from the Helichrysum italicum plant, has been established in various experimental studies to have strong abilities to lower inflammation due to several mechanisms: inflammatory enzyme inhibition, free radical scavenging activity and corticoid-like effects.

 

Helichrysum Essential Oil Effects & Benefits

1. Anti-inflammatory and Antimicrobial Skin Helper

Thanks to its anti-inflammatory properties, people also like to use helichrysum essential oil for scars to discourage inflammation and encourage optimal healing. The oil also has anti-allergenic properties, making it a great natural remedy for hives. To use helichrysum essential oil for soothing and healing the skin, combine with a carrier oil like coconut or jojoba oil and rub the mixture onto onto the area of concern for hives, redness, scars, blemishes, rashes and shaving irritation. If you have a rash or poison ivy, applying helichrysum mixed with lavender oil can help cool and soothe any itching.

2. Acne Treatment

According to medical studies, helichrysum has strong antioxidant and antibacterial properties that make it a great natural acne treatment. It also works without drying the skin or causing redness and other unwanted side effects (like the ones by harsh chemical acne treatments or medications).

3. Anti-Candida 

According to in vitro studies, the special compounds in helichrysum oil — called acetophenones, phloroglucinols and terpenoids — appear to demonstrate antifungal actions against harmful Candida albicans growth.  4. Anti-Inflammatory that Helps Boost Heart Health

The hypotensive action of helichrysum improves the condition of blood vessels by lowering inflammation, increasing smooth muscle function and lowering high blood pressure.

5. Natural Digestive and Diuretic

Helichrysum helps stimulate the secretion of gastric juices that are needed to break down food and prevent indigestion. For thousands of years in Turkish folk medicine, the oil has been used as a diuretic, helping reduce bloating by drawing excess water out of the body, and for relieving stomachaches.

6. Potential Natural Cancer Protector

Research published in the journal BMC Complementary and Alternative Medicine demonstrates the anticancer ability of helichrysum. This in vitro study reveals the antitumor actions of extracts from the Helichrysum zivojinii plant. The anticancer ability of the helichrysum extracts on cancer call lines were selective and dose-dependent.

7. Antiviral that Increases Immunity

Since a large portion of the immune system is actually located within the gut, the gut-healing and anti-inflammatory properties of helichrysum help it effectively boost immunity.

8. Natural Hemorrhoid Soother

To help reduce pain and swelling of hemorrhoids, apply three to four drops with a cotton ball to the affected area. Repeat every few hours as needed to ease pain, inflammation and swelling. You can add three drops of helichrysum oil along with three drops of lavender oil to a warm bath and soak in it to ease hemorrhoid symptoms.

9. Kidney Stone Reliever

Helichrysum oil may reduce the risk of kidney stones by supporting and detoxifying the kidneys and liver. Helichrysum extracts may be useful in the treatment of kidney stones and can be used as an alternative therapy to potassium citrate. The flowers were also found to be helpful for urinary tract stones or urolithiasis. Recommend putting two drops of citrus oils like lemon, lime, orange or grapefruit in your water two times daily, and rub the helichrysum oil topically over lower abdomen two times daily.
