The Helichrysum (Helichrysum Italicum ssp Serotinum) I refer to in this post is a very specific certified organic species grown and distilled just outside Milan in Corsica, Italy.
There are hundreds of species of Helichrysum and Helichrysum Italicum is grown and distilled in many areas. The information provided here has only been linked to the Corsican Helichrysum Italicum ssp Serotinum and no other species from any other area.
This oil is so very precious. It is a favorite that I personally use daily.
Helichrysum has an unparalleled speed in the healing of bruises (fade overnight), scars (even old ones), broken bones (fused in half the normal time).
Helichrysum reduces inflammation and speeds healing of skin irritations and wounds including burns, rashes, eczema, psoriasis, acne and rosacea.
This amazing essential oils has shown to regenerate damaged tissue and nerves. It is fantastic for use with muscle spasms and joint pain and has said to work well with carpal tunnel syndrome and arthritis.
Helichrysum is an antioxidant, detoxifier (draws heavy metals and other toxins front he body), antibacterial, anti fungal, antiviral and immune system booster. It has even been successfully used to treat an irregular heart beat and high blood pressure.
Emotionally, Helichrysum is a comforting oil. It opens the creative side of the brain and aids in meditation.
When used in psychotherapy, helichrysum has been known to help in resolving emotions and restoring buried memories.
The unique scent of Helichrysum is one I have a difficult time explaining. I have heard it described as warm, rich, green, curry, honey, butter, powerful, floral, minty, earthy, herbal, fresh, radiant, spicy, woodsy, ...
I personally think it is a little of all of these. It is definitely powerful and may take some getting used to, but the end results will have you falling in love with Helichrysum in no time at all.
I offer several artisan skin care products that contain Helichrysum. I also enjoy custom blending products for your individual needs.

I started SRBBB with a basket of soaps and scrubs that I sold in the teacher's lounge when I was teaching. With the encouragement of friends, family and customers, over the years, I have gradually added more and more products.
I opened my first online store in 2001. I continue to sell in my own online store as well as five online sites for hand crafted items. I also sell locally at farmer's markets, craft shows and art fairs. My products can be found in yoga studios, gift shops, day spas, hair salons, holistic medical and dermatologist's offices.
As my children have grown older, and we have encountered skin issues like eczema and acne, my research into these areas and has also grown.
As I have grown older, my products have grown up too. I now offer a variety of natural aromatherapy skin care products for anti-aging. These are my favorite products to research and formulate.
Actually, I like to formulate anything that will help someone!
My products are 100% natural. That means every single ingredient is from nature. No man-made chemicals, fragrance oils or preservatives. There are no exceptions to this rule.
Most of my ingredients are Vegan. I do offer a few products that contain cow's &/or goat's milk, beeswax and honey. These products are clearly marked.
All of my ingredients are certified organic, organically grown or wild crafted & unsprayed.
Every single essential oil I use is intelligently selected. I have been trained in the chemistry of essential oils and choose essential oils for there therapeutic benefits.
I purchase only 100% pure, undiluted, therapeutic, and organically grown oils from trusted aromatherapists who import their oils straight from the distillers. When possible, I import straight from the distiller myself.
