Aura Cacia Helichrysum (in jojoba Oil) 0.5 fl. oz.

I learned through some research online that this essential oil helps to heal skin and in great on eczema. I ordered it along with several others. I love essential oils because they are a great, natural way to heal the body and prevent health further health issues.Here are some of the uses I found for Helichrysum Essential Oil in my research:Skin Antibiotic and Antifungal: A review done by the Health Sciences Research Centre at the University of Beira in Portugal found that helichrysum’s flavonoids and terpene compounds were effective against bacteria and fungus growth that can cause various skin irritations, including rashes, infections and delayed wound healing.To use helichrysum essential oil for soothing and healing the skin, combine with a carrier oil like coconut or jojoba oil and rub the mixture onto the face to prevent hives, redness, blemishes, rashes and shaving irritation. If you have a rash or poison ivy, applying helichrysum mixed with lavender oil can help cool and soothe any itching.Sunburn Relief and Skin Cancer Protector: Helichrysum can help hydrate burnt skin and relieve the pain following sunburns. It can also decrease signs of aging on the skin and block UV-light damage that can contribute to the formation of skin cancer. You can mix a small amount of the oil with a bit of coconut oil and apply it directly to the affected area to relieve pain and support healthy skin renewal.Acne Treatment: According to medical studies, helichrysum oil has strong antibiotic and antimicrobial properties that make it a great natural cure for acne, for it works without drying the skin or causing redness and other unwanted side effects (like the ones by harsh chemical acne treatments or medications).Natural Candida Cure: The special compounds in helichrysum oil — called acetophenones, phloroglucinols and terpenoids — appear to demonstrate antifungal actions against Candida growth in clinical studies.Helichrysum also helps soothe the digestive tract, battle inflammation within the gut lining, boost immunity, and speed up the process of recovering from the Candida virus.Anti-Inflammatory That Helps Boost Heart Health: The hypotensive action of helichrysum improves the condition of blood vessels by lowering inflammation, increasing smooth muscle function and lowering high blood pressure, according to a 2008 study done by the School of Medical Sciences at the University of Durban. The observed cardiovascular effects of using helichrysum oil support the basis for its use in the management of high blood pressure and the protection of heart health — just like it’s been traditionally used for many years in European folkloric medicine.Natural Digestive and Diuretic: Helichrysum helps stimulate the secretion of gastric juices that are needed to break down food and prevent indigestion. For thousands of years in Turkish folk medicine, the oil was used as a diuretic, helping to reduce bloating by drawing excess water out of the body, and for relieving stomachaches.The flowers of Helichrysum italicum are also a traditional remedy for the treatment of various intestinal complaints and are used as an herbal tea for curing digestive, stomach-related, damaged gut and intestinal diseases.Liver Stimulator and Detoxifier: Known to be an antispasmodic, blood purifier and anti-inflammatory, helichrysum has been used as a liver stimulant and detoxifier for centuries. It’s commonly used in folk medicine to treat liver disease and to help the body detoxify from toxins, heavy metals, bacteria and air pollution.Natural Cancer Protector: Clinical research indicates that helichrysum contains special flavonoid antioxidant compounds that inhibit oxidative stress and cancer growth. In addition, studies found the extract to be effective at protecting against radiation-induced DNA damage, cell mutation and death, and cancerous tumor growth. Its photoprotective activities, especially due to acetophenones and phloroglucinol compounds, have been demonstrated both in animals and humans studies.Antiviral That Increases Immunity: Since a large portion of the immune system is actually located within the gut, the gut-healing and anti-inflammatory properties of helichrysum help it effectively boost immunity. In clinical studies, the flavonoids and phloroglucinols of helichrysum oil showed inhibition of harmful bacteria, fungi and viruses.Natural Hemorroid Soother: To help reduce pain and swelling of hemorrhoids, apply 3-4 drops with a cotton ball to the affected area. Repeat every few hours as needed to ease pain, inflammation and swelling.Kidney Stone Reliever: Lemon and helichrysum oils may reduce the risk of kidney stones by supporting and detoxifying the kidneys and liver. Put two drops of citrus oils like lemon, lime, wild orange or grapefruit in your water two times daily. With helichrysum oil, rub topically over lower abdomen two times daily.Natural Multiple Sclerosis Preventer: Essential oils of frankincense and helichrysum support the neurological system and can help ward off or alleviate the symptoms of multiple sclerosis. Rub two drops of each oil on the body three times a day for three weeks, then take one week off and repeat that cycle. Also, basil and cypress oils can improve circulation and muscle tone and can help reduce MS symptoms, so consider combining these oils together for maximum results.13. Pain RelieverResearch also indicates that helichrysum oil decreases muscle pain by lowering swelling, inflammation and improving circulation. This helps support the healing of nerves, joints and muscle tissue — making it an effective natural treatment for pain-related symptoms of arthritis, fibromyalgia and exercise-related injuries. You can use it along with lavender oil, which is also excellent to reduce pain and emotional stress.If you think my review is interesting or helpful, please rate it as "helpful." I always enjoy writing reviews on products. I make most of my daily purchases on Amazon and base my purchases on reviews from others. I know that honest and helpful reviews can make all the difference in a purchasing decision.

I have celiac disease and when I am inadvertently "glutened" I exhibit symptoms, one of which is dermatitis herpetiformis or celiac rash. It is very painful; and I develop red welps that look like insect bites, the itch constantly. I have tried anti-histamine tablets, creams and lotions and sometimes have had to use anti-biotics to keep down infection because my skin would break open because of the constant scratching.Yesterday, I received my shipment of the Helichrysum EO, (the first of many, for I will never be without it) and could not wait to use it. I was glad that the product is pre-diluted so I could use it right out of the bottle.I rubbed some of the EO on the most recent break-outs, on the some that were partially healed and on the scars of old lesions. The first thing I noticed was the itching stopped!! Not lessened but immediately stopped. Next the redness of the new partially healed break-outs went away and the new break-outs got lighter in color. I put on more before bed and this morning, the new lesions were flat, with no itching, the old lesions were almost invisible except for the scabs, which are also lighter in color and the old scars are fading.I also had a bruise on my knee, that looked like it would be there forever. It was a dark, thick horizontal line across the top of my kneecap. I rubbed the Helichrysum EO on that as well, last night and this morning and the line is lighter in color and not as solid.Lastly, I have always had a problem with my heels, and in the winter I spend a fortune on products to keep them from cracking and to soften skin. Just a little Helichrysum EO after my shower and this morning I had pink heels, not gray from dry skin.I have never had any product work this quickly and with such great results. Thanks for making this great product available.

We absolutely swear by this oil, we use it on sore joints and muscles, it works very well. Have been buying this one for years now.

I have been wanting to buy helichrysum oil but the price sends me into sticker shock. This is a great way to get the benefits without the price. They have pre-blended the oil with Jojoba oil. Jojoba oil is a very shelf stable carrier oils, which makes this a great choice to make a premade blend. I am not a fan of the fact that they do not disclose the dilution % of their oil, but I am part of the FB Group "New Using Essential Oils Safely" and Lea Harris, the certified clinical armoatherapist that runs the group has said that Aura Cacia has said the blend is between 3 and 5% which is a good safe dilution rate. I have used this on bruises and cuts and it helps them heal faster. A lot of people get into brand wars with their brand being the only "therapeutic grade" and poo-poo all other oil brands, but I love that this a reputable company if you google EO Consumer Analysis groups, you will see that they have passed several third party GSCM tests, and can rest easy knowing this is the real deal. I paid full price for this item, and if I can't afford the cost of the real deal (undiluted) by the time I use this all, I would probably order again.
