Helichrysum italicum is Steam distilled from the flowering parts in Slovenia. The floral water has similar properties to the essential oil. Helichrysum is credited by aromatherapists as being effective for abscesses, acne, bruises, boils, burns, cuts, dermatitis, eczema, irritated skin and wounds. It is also reputed to be an uplifting, spiritual scent.

Description: The Helichrysum Italicum plant grows wild in Mediterranean regions. It can be found in regions with dry, high altitudes with a lot of sun exposure.

Aroma: Helichrysum has a powerful scent that can be described as a floral mint. It is both earthy and fresh.

History: The word Helichrysum is derived from the Greek word helios meaning sun and chrysos meaning gold, a reference to the golden colour of many of the flowers from this botanical genus. Helichrysum has been used since the time of the ancient Greeks for its great wound healing ability and was often used after battles.

Flower waters, or hydrosols as aromatherapists call them, are the waters that emerge from the distillation of essential oils. These contain the lightest, wateriest parts of the plant's essence. All of my floral waters are free of emulsifying agents and preservatives.

Flower waters are extremely versatile. They can be used anywhere that water is required. They are an excellent linen spray and a simple, safe way for the novice aromatherapist to enjoy the therapeutic benefits of essential oils.
