Helichrysum Organic Hydrosol Corsica
Helichrysum italicum
We have two Helichrysum hydrosols at Stillpoint Aromatics. One is from our Artisan distiller in Washington state here in the USA and the other from our fabulous distiller in Corsica. The healing properties of both helichrysums are the same but the energetics and aroma of the two are quite different. This helichrysum hydrosol from Corsica is bolder and stronger in aroma and taste. There is a greater semblance to Helichrysum essential oil.

Aroma is unusual, for some, like honey on warm toast, for others, dusty old clothes

Helichrysum italicum Hydrosol, like the essential oil, has many, many uses. Also known as Immortelle or Everlasting. One of the most powerful anti-inflammatory hydrosols. Helichrysum italicum hydrosol is a strong anti-hematoma just as Helichrysum italicum essential oil. It is, however, not as analgesic as the oil. Suzanne Catty states, "Applied in a compress to bangs and bumps, it can even bring subcutaneous bruises to the surface, exposing hidden damage." As well as being significantly anti-inflammatory, it is extremely cicatrisant for all wound and tissue damage.
