Emotional Education : Helichrysum

Helichrysum is called "honey for the psyche" because of it's sweet scent and it's lovely effects on our brain. Here are some of it's emotional benefits. -Eryn Jones

• Great to diffuse while processing or journaling (or place a drop behind each ear if you are savoring it!). This oil is great for emotional trauma because it assists the brain in recovering repressed memories, or hidden truths- past or present. This means that when I first used it, I cried some (read: a lot). There was a gentle kindness, though, with which I felt safe to cry about some long-ago things, release them and let them go. Helichrysum can be super helpful this way- it's gently powerful!

• It's also amazing for Fear because it is very calming to the Sympathetic Nervous System, it can help promote calm in the face of big fears.

+Many cultures have used this oil for meditation because, like Frank, it raises awareness of self and helps activate a part of our brain that connects with our Higher Power through meditation.

• The list of emotions it can help with is long, but to name a few: Resentment, Suppressed Emotions, Frustration, Anger, Irritability, Fear of the Truth, Irresponsibility, Lack of Trust, Past Hurts/ Traumas.

Helichrysum is also found in Aroma Life, JuvaCleanse, and JuvaFlex
