When I searched the world to formulate my luxury Agent Nateur blends, naturally, Helichrysum was on my creative radar. This essential oil is often referred to as “Immortelle” because the flower does not wither after its picked. Native to Europe and the Mediterranean, this was one of the Greek God Apollos’ favorite features and can be often seen adorning his head. Lucky for you, this beautiful ingredient is in our Agent Nateur holi (oil) formula.

Revered for its many beauty benefits, this flower comes from the daisy family and has played an important role in traditional medicine for centuries. Its properties have been used to heal in more ways than one. With over 600 species worldwide, the benefits of this flower are vast.

Naturally, all living things such as flowers and herbs create energetic benefits. Helichrysum happens to radiate one of the highest frequencies in terms of energy. It is known to assist in the clearing of the heart—the 4th chakra—which helps promote forgiveness and release of traumatic memories that have created emotional blocks. It connects the physical body to the spirit, helping facilitate grounding. It nurtures the throat—the 5th chakra—energy field by helping release unspoken words that govern the thyroid. It works with our Root—the 1st chakra —and Sacral—the 2nd chakra–to assist in fertility, procreation, and pregnancy. Lastly, its gentle feminine power helps clarify our divine identity and adds the colors yellow, blue, orange, and red to our auric fields, helping create balance.
