Our organic Helichrysum Hydrosol, also referred to as Immortelle Hydrosol and Everlasting Hydrosol, is steam distilled from the bright yellow perennial flowers of the Helichrysum italicum (syn Helichrysum angustifolium) plant growing wild in the dry, often rocky mountains of Croatia. This uplifting hydrosol has a gentle dry-green floral aroma with earthy tea-like back notes and is similar to the distinctive tea/honey-like, herbaceous aroma of Helichrysum Essential Oil, but is somewhat softer and more delicate in aromatic intensity.
REPORTED BENEFITS AND USES
Helichrysum Hydrosol can be mildly analgesic and is known to have anti-inflammatory properties, which can be helpful for a variety of skin ailments. Like the essential oil, Helichrysum Hydrosol is also helpful in speeding the recovery of wounds and scars, making this hydrosol an excellent choice for treating cuts, wounds, bruises, sore muscles, insect bites, rashes, gum and mouth issues, and more. It is also a good choice to include in formulations for anti-aging, mature skin, and conditions of eczema. Suzanne Catty, author of Hydrosols: The Next Aromatherapy mentions that Helichrysum Flower Water is an effective ingredient in mouthwashes and other oral care formulations.
Energetically, Helichrysum Hydrosol is both uplifting and grounding and has a strong association for comforting emotional heartache. Spiritually, both Helichrysum Essential Oil and Helichrysum Hydrosol are often used during prayer and meditation. Helichrysum is grounding and can help bring balance to the first chakra. This hydrosol can help resolve new emotional trauma and contribute to healing old emotional wounds.
