Helichrysum is the go-to essential oil for the treatment of any kind of inflammation and or injury to the skin. It promotes cell regeneration and is a key ingredient in many higher priced cosmetic products that target aging and/or sun-damaged skin issues. It is known to help reduce scarring and we use it in our scar butters for this reason. It is also said to be extremely effective in the treatment of emotional scarring when used in a diffuser or inhaler, or mixed with a carrier and applied topically. There are cheaper alternatives, but you get what you pay for in terms of its healing ability. This wild crafted oil is steam distilled and comes from Croatia.
