Helichrysum gymnocephalum
6-12€ / 10ml

Madagascar helichrysum (Helichrysum gymnocephalum) should not be confused with Italian helichrysum (H. italicum), which is the anti-bruise essential oil. The Malagasy species is completely different: rich in 1,8-cineole, it is oriented toward the respiratory and immune spheres. It grows in the highlands of Madagascar and is used in traditional Malagasy medicine for infections.
While Italian helichrysum is the queen of anti-bruise treatment, Madagascar helichrysum is a respiratory anti-infectious. They are two completely different essential oils despite the common name. The price of the Malagasy variety is 3-5 times lower than the Italian.

No! Madagascar immortelle (Helichrysum gymnocephalum) is a completely different species from Italian helichrysum (Helichrysum italicum). Madagascar immortelle is rich in 1,8-cineole: it is an expectorant, not an anti-hematoma agent. Do not confuse them.
It is used for respiratory infections (bronchitis, sinusitis) like eucalyptus radiata. Its 1,8-cineole content makes it a good expectorant. Well tolerated, usable from age 6. An affordable alternative to ravintsara.
Yes, it is well tolerated for adults and children over 6 (diluted). No known toxicity at standard doses. Precautions: avoid in asthmatics (1,8-cineole) and during pregnancy.
