Organic Helichrysum Gymnocephalum Essential Oil

Our helichrysum gymnocephalum essential oil is steam-distilled from the Helichrysum gymnocephalum species, one of 200 varieties of the plant. ArOmis’ helichrysum oil is sourced from Madagascar. The helichrysum plant is part of the sunflower family. Traditional uses include treatment of allergies, coughs, inflammation, and insomnia.

This oil has been used for centuries to fight colds and coughs, and its anti-inflammatory properties also make it a good choice for soothing sore muscles and joints. As such, when used topically it may offer natural relief to those who suffer from arthritis and fibromyalgia.
