IMMORTELLE
Immortelle (Helichrysum)
Botanical Name: Helichrysum italicum Botanical Family: Asteraceae (Compositae)
Quick Facts
· Extraction Method: Steam Distillation
· Part Used: Flowering Tops
· Aroma Note: Base to Middle
The Profile
Immortelle, also known as Everlasting or Helichrysum, gets its name from its flowers, which retain their vibrant yellow color even after being dried. It grows in the sun-drenched, rocky soils of the Mediterranean. The aroma is intensely unique: rich, honey-like, and buttery with herbaceous tea undertones. It is often referred to as the "Super-Arnica" of aromatherapy because it contains rare molecules called italidiones, which are not found in any other essential oil and are responsible for its legendary tissue-healing powers.
Therapeutic Actions
Anti-allergenic, Anti-inflammatory, Antimicrobial, Antispasmodic, Cicatrisant (wound-healing), Cytophylactic, Expectorant, Hepatic, Nervine, Vulnerary.
Usage & Benefits
· Skin: The "Stitch-in-a-Bottle." It is the absolute best oil for healing scar tissue, whether old or new. It is highly effective for stretch marks, surgical scars, acne pits, and mature skin. It encourages rapid cell regeneration.
· Injury: Unrivaled for bruises and hematomas. If applied immediately after a bump or fall, it can often prevent a bruise from forming or significantly speed up its disappearance.
· Nervous System: A powerful support for nervous exhaustion and lethargy. It helps "reset" the system after a period of intense stress or burnout.
· Inflammation: Highly effective for rheumatism and arthritis, as it helps to "cool" inflamed joints and reduce the associated pain.
· Liver Support: It is a known detoxifier that supports liver function and helps the body process environmental toxins.
Emotional Benefit
Immortelle is the "Oil for the Walking Wounded." It is for those who have suffered deep emotional trauma or "bruising" of the soul. Just as it heals physical scars, it helps to dissolve the hard protective shells we build around our hearts after being hurt. It provides the resilience to move through pain without becoming bitter, restoring the will to live fully and joyfully.
The "At Home" Remedies
1. The "Bruise Rescue": Apply 1 drop of Immortelle mixed with a few drops of carrier oil directly to a new bump or bruise as soon as possible to minimize discoloration.
2. The "Scar-Fade" Blend: Mix 2 drops with 10ml of Rosehip oil. Massage into scars or stretch marks twice daily to encourage tissue remodeling.
3. The "Burnout" Inhalation: Inhale directly from the bottle during moments of deep emotional fatigue to reconnect with your inner strength.
Synergy Blend
The "Eternal Skin" Blend To rejuvenate the complexion and smooth imperfections
· 2 drops Immortelle
· 3 drops Frankincense
· 2 drops Lavender
· 20ml of carrier oil
Blending Partners
Bergamot, Chamomile, Clary Sage, Clove, Cypress, Frankincense, Geranium, Juniper Berry, Lavender, Mandarin, and Rose.
Safety Data, Warnings, & Precautions
Generally non-toxic, non-irritant, and non-sensitizing. Because of its ability to thin the blood slightly, it should be used with caution by those on anticoagulant medication. Avoid use on open, bleeding wounds (wait until the wound has closed to begin scar treatment).
