Madagascar helichrysum , also known as'female helichrysum','ymnocephalus helichrysum' or'bare-headed helichrysum' is different from Italian helichrysum (Helichrysum italicum) and these 2 essential oils do not have the same composition, properties or uses.
‘Hélichryse femelle Helichrysum gymnocephalum was recently described by Dr Daniel PENOEL in collaboration with the Bio’Mada laboratory:
'The respiratory manifestations that will benefit most from the specific value provided by this essential oil are those that express a more pronounced disorder or a marked 'revolt' within the body. There is currently no Asteraceae that offers such a high rate of cineole. In the case of respiratory allergies (allergic rhinitis, asthma), this essential oil should be the first choice. It should also be chosen as a priority when respiratory infections occur in individuals, particularly children, who are at risk of developing allergies due to their family background. At a further level of disorganisation, we find degenerative diseases and autoimmune pathologies
'To make the most of it on the skin, it is preferable to apply a drop or a trace to areas that are closely linked with the respiratory system. For example, a drop can be placed on the interior of the wrist, where the pulse is felt (corresponding to the lung meridian). A drop can be placed on the carotid and jugular passage, just behind the angle of the lower jaw, on the right and left. It can be used pure as a perlingual drop, or mixed into crushed fruit, compote or creamy food. In aerosols, it is easy to use, but it is not really for the atmosphere, but rather for direct inhalation. Unlike certain Eucalyptus essential oils (like globulus) that should not be inhaled straight from the container (because some molecules, like isovalerylic aldehyde, trigger coughs by irritating the mucous membrane), Bare-headed helichrysum essential oil is remarkably well tolerated. It could be said that, to the extent it has evolved, the composition of its essence is in perfect harmony with the human respiratory system. The fact that this essential oil is now being used therapeutically by humans, at a time when the most feared and increasingly common diseases are precisely those related to the disruption of information, is no coincidence. There is a synchronicity here, which in itself is a rather convincing sign of the accuracy of its 'discovery' from a natural medical perspective.'
