Description

This beautiful helichrysum essential oil was wild-harvested in central Dalmatia, Croatia, in the summer of 2019 using a reap hook. Ante who distilled it told us that the power of the oil comes from the sun and the land. Knowing the land and the plant well, he feels that it grows abundantly on the extremely deprived, stony earth so that it can help heal the land with the wildlife that are attracted by it and with its powerful solar force.

This amazing oil not only helps the body to reabsorb physical bruises, but it also helps the soul reabsorb the emotional and psychological bruises and shocks of both the present and the past. It is an incredibly, powerful healer for the soul bringing inner peace and self-compassion to the forefront while strengthening our relationship with the unconscious realms.

Its ability to bring a sense of inner peace makes it a great ally in periods of life that emotionally, physically and spiritually challenging.

In terms of what is happening in the world today, many of us are feeling a combination of sadness, grief, fear for the future and disbelief. We do not know what to do, how to make a stand, how to help change things. Helichrysum essential oil brings a sense of inner conciliation and non-violence that stimulates creative action and brings a clear vision to the best and most authentic way each of us can ‘act’ in our lives and in this crazy world. I personally am really grateful to have it beside me as an ally. Although it took a long time coming, it definitely showed up when it was most needed.
