In the early 1990’s Dr Daniel Penoel referred to Helichrysum italicum as the “Super Arnica of Aromatherapy”. One would think with such high praise that it would be in every single aromatherapy text book, but no. It was Dr Kurt Schnaubelt who pointed out that although there was no essential oils book reference before the 1980’s, the oil had been taken to ever aromatherapist’s heart and was now generally accepted as one of our most healing oils.

Other therapists described it as being the very best essential oil for healing scar tissue, but only if you used the oil distilled from plants sourced from Corsica.

All this puzzled me. I wanted to find out more.

I could not have bargained for the strange journey the plant, lost in history took me on. Come with me and:

Hi everyone, I am a clinical aromatherapist with over 30 years professional experience, the UK Director of National Association of Holistic Aromatherapists and an overseas speaker for the International Federation of Aromatherapy. I am also a regular contibutor to several trade journals.

I have a rather unique slant on essential oils in that I hear them as musical notes and they sing their wisdom for me.

The white books - the essential oil monographs - take the most recent clinical evedice from the laboratories and match them with the earliest mentions of the plant in history. Join me on mythological journies into the past and discover plant medicine in ways that you have never experienced them before.

My most recent book on Melissa encouraged me to become a bee guardian and Melissa priestess. That said, if you are looking for airy fairy information, look elsewhere. Less Titania, more Gimli Son of Gloyn, I only deal in real Down To Earth Medicine.

Elizabeth Ashley is a fun author. It's like sitting down and having a conversation with her. She covers the scientific aspects in an easy to understand way and she brings in the intuitive and energetic aspects of the oil in a very personal way. I am an aromatherapist and I learned much for this book. Only negative is that she needs to have her editors check for typos a bit more.

This is an informative book about helichrysum. Of course, I had to buy some and try out some blends for myself. I am astounded on how well it works on inflammation. I would not have known about this useful, powerful oil without this book. Thank you for writing it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Highly informative and well written
Reviewed in the United States on May 26, 2017
As a certified clinical aromatherapist, I have read not a few aromatherapy books and essential oil monographs. However, I must say I am highly impressed by this one. Not only was it immaculately researched but a downright entertaining read as well, which is rare for an essential oil monograph, most of which are usually rather dry and technical. Ms. Ashley has a way of bringing the subject to life. She references quite a number of scientific papers as well as other experts in the field of aromatherapy, and I highly appreciate that she attributes other people's work and information, rather than passing it off as her own, which seems to be the norm these days.

This book does take a deep dive into the metaphysical aspect of Helichrysum, specifically medical astrology, which may or may not be your cup of tea. I had planned on skipping the chapter and moving on because the other information was so good, but for reasons I still can't explain I couldn't put it down.

Overall, a very valuable contribution to understanding this important distillation that seemed to burst onto the aromatherapy scene with little fanfare, and is now considered a really "essential" oil for practitioners of aromatherapy.
