Helichrysum is one of the most powerful tonics for the nerves. It removes pain quickly and effortlessly. Helichrysum is “the oil for pain.” It aids those who are the walking wounded, those with a history of difficult life circumstances, trauma, addiction, loss, or abuse. It can also assist the individual who is so sensitive that they experience most everything in life as painful. These individuals need the powerful spiritual support that helichrysum offers. Helichrysum gives strength and endurance to the wounded soul who must keep on living, despite past difficulties.
Helichrysum restores confidence in life and in the self, that we have the strength to make it. This oil has a powerful relationship with the light of the sun. It imbues joy, fervor, and hope for living. It inspires us to not only live, but to do so with a smile on our face. Helichrysum takes the wounded soul by the hand guiding him/her through life’s difficulties. If the wounded individual can persevere helichrysum can take them into new heights of spiritual consciousness. Our hurts can be healed. Following this spiritual healing and transformation helichrysum can teach us to find gratitude for our trials. It helps us to see that if we were not wounded, we would not have sought healing, and if we had not sought healing we would not have experienced this spiritual rebirth. Just as the phoenix dies and is raised from his ashes so might we be raised from our turmoil. Helichrysum contacts the energy of rebirth and new life. It lends us its’ warrior spirit so that we may face our adversities with courage and determination. Helichrysum is a great oil for balancing the fire center. Its affinity with both fire and light make helichrysum a powerful remedy for all kinds of fire imbalances. Whether we are over doers and excessively willful, or we cannot find the will and motivation to live/move forward, helichrysum helps us to find the balance. Helichrysum connects us with heavenly rays of sunshine. It brings hope to the most discouraged of souls and life to those in need of rebirth.
