Fast Fact: Helichrysum has a high frequency making it perfect to diffuse for grounding during study or mediation.
Where?
Young Living grows its Helichrysum in Croatia. This hearty plant prefers rocky soil to keep it warm day and night. Instead of harvesting the entire plant, Young Living takes just the top 10-12 inches. The stalk will grow back within a week!
Why?
As you can see, Helichrysum has wonderful rejuvenating and restorative properties. We love it for:
- Improving appearance of tender skin
- Supporting mood, even during conflict
- Easing minor muscle tension or bone discomfort
- Maintaining healthy circulation
- Supporting the respiratory system
- General cleansing properties
How?
1. Diffuse:
The uplifting aroma can help soothe moods and stimulate focus. You can diffuse up to 1 hour 3 times a day.
2. Apply Topically
Try applying 2-4 drops to the feet or directly to area of choice. Dilution is not typically required.
