Guest guest Posted April 11, 2005 Report Share Posted April 11, 2005 Hi guys, Has anyone heard of this essential oil? What is it? What is it for? Is it a gimmick? L'Occitane has a line that uses this " precious " essential oil in some anti-aging products. Thanks for your help. Inquiring minds want to know.

Guest guest Posted April 11, 2005 Report Share Posted April 11, 2005 Essential oil of Immortelle (Helichrysum italicum) A tall, strongly aromatic member of the daisy family with a woody stem and bright yellow flowers.

Immortelle has been found to reduce discoloration from old scar tissue. * Decreases swelling: helps to minimize swelling from bumps and bruises. Most effective when used as a _compress_ (http://www.essentics.biz/new%20pages/methods%20of%20use%20new.htm) right after the injury occurs. * Effects on inflammation: used in clinical practice for joint and muscle inflammation.

What is it? What is it for? Is it a gimmick? L'Occitane has a line that uses this " precious " essential oil in some anti-aging products. Thanks for your help. Inquiring minds want to know. Dian in Illinois Hi Dian, Immortelle (and sometimes 'strawflower') is the common name for Helichrysum spp. This common name has been in existence for ages in the flower and horticulture worlds. When it comes to aromatherapy, there is only one Helichrysum species to choose because of its superior application for soft tissue regeneration (excluding broken skin on which it should never be used), and that is Helichrysum italicum from Corsica. I'm sure you will get many posts here because of personal experience with this lovely healing oil.
