As you have read in the previous paragraphs this small, discreet plant which is the top of the range in essential oils is unveiled in the above texts, something for everyone. It seems to me that the previous chapters have been informative on everything from “why use an essential oil” and in particular, the Helichrysum Italicum.

The method of obtaining an essential oil, and in the case of Helichrysum Italicum, it is by steam distillation and as we progress in the different chapters we can see the development of diverse uses of this amazing golden headed plant, and its unique chemical composition makes it a rare and elite essential oil. Leading aroma therapist Eric & Michell Cech explains the “magic bullet” effect on sports injuries, many other aroma therapists have participated in this testimonial; its medicinal properties are amazing. Concerning the cosmetic aspect, a detailed scientific experiment was conducted and has proved beyond doubt that the efficiency of the Helichrysum Italicum essential oil as an anti ageing treatment, it is in fact a regenerator of cells; this enables the collagen count to multiply and re pulps those parts that other creams and essential oils can not reach.

How to select an essential oil, and this is obviously applicable for all essential oils, gives some good advice and again I must say that the Helichyrsum Italicum that I talk about in this paper, with the help of the numerous professionals, is the Helichrysum Italicum from Corsica and the Mediterranean basin and not the Helichrysum Italicum coming from the Balkans. It’s like comparing chalk and cheese….

Numerous testimonials tell of the healing capacities of Helichrysum Italicum. It is surprising, sometimes incredulous but none the less true. In fact when you start to use the Helichrysum Italicum yourself, you will realise its capacity and the statements given by the friends of Helichrysum Italicum. You too will believe in the “power of the flower”.
Then we move on to Dr Badoux’s many remedies all of which include Helichrysum Italicum, they took me ages to translate and I admit that maybe one or two still have the French title, so help me out here folks. Dr Baudoux’s essential oil treatments cover, literally?, everything from medical skin care to cosmetic skin care. From varicous veins & nappy rash to acne and eczema. I am personally going to try out some of Dr Baudoux’s essential oil treatments with the Helichrysum Italicum; I’ll keep you posted on the out come.

There will be much more added to this paper over the next few months and longer, I invite you all to join in with this and contribute your knowledge and lets make it a unique paper in the fact that people all over the world joined together to unite their efforts about a small discreet golden headed plant. A unique paper for a unique essential oil. I wish that all things could be remedied this way…

Should any one ever ask me “what is Helichrysum Italicum?” I will reply by the words of a little girl in Utah called Celeste “its love”…
