Detailed description

Helichrysum italicum is a perennial plant in the Asteraceae family. It is native to the Adriatic regions, particularly Italy.

This plant is distinguished by its small, “eternal” flowers, which retain their bright yellow inflorescence when dried. It is well adapted to water-starved environments and thrives in poor soils.

Traditionally used in phytotherapy to treat digestive problems, Helychrisum Italicum flower contains volatile terpenes found mainly in essential oils. It also possesses phenolic compounds recognized as beneficial to health due to their antioxidant properties and their probable role in ameliorating various disorders linked to oxidative stress.
