Everlasting ~ Helichrysum Bosnia

Scars, Wounds, Burns, Bruises, Post-Surgery Treatment, Injuries, Skin Rejuvenation

Everlasting essential oil has unrivaled tissue regeneration such as wrinkles treatment and scar healing.

Helichrysum #4118 is from Bosnia and Herzegovina, as is #118. We consider both oils to be of equal quality, but they are from different distillers.

Everlast or Helichrysum italicum is the active ingredient in many high priced skin care products. Its cell regenerating qualities effect not only the skin and liver but the entire body. It is used for healing of even old scars and cheloids as well as preventive and curative wrinkles treatment.

As the quantities of Corsican oil have apparently become smaller prices for oils from Bosnia and Herzegovina have been pushed upwards by large corporate buyers.

As far as therapeutic efficacy goes the Bosnian oils are equally effective as the Corsican distillates. While there may be therapists who have developed a special relationship with the Corsican oil and hence have their best results with this variety the Bosnian oils have a higher diketone content. Diketones are the components responsible for the antioxidant and tissue protective qualities of Helichrysum italicum essential oil.

We are often asked about the difference between the Everlast oils from Bosnia Herzegovina, Corsica, Italy and Province. While all four, actually five (two from different distillers in BiH) have different chemical composition they can be used interchangeably for the purposes of skin and liver healing. We tested the varieties extensively in person and can maybe say as much, that the oils from BiH work extremely well on fresh wounds and scars, for disinfection and tissue regeneration, while the Corsican one showed superior pain relieving qualities on open wounds and burns. It also seems to be highly beneficial in the treatment of old scars. But all in all it really remains a question of personal preference.
