Straight from the grower/distiller:
The land on which we grow our plants has not been used for agriculture for more than 30 years, only in last few years for helichrysum italicum to be rediscovered again. We got our seed material from Croatian coast Helichrysum, from growers from Croatia, since we live on the border in the same climate conditions.
The pesticides and herbicides are not used at all. Since the plantation is not large, the plants can be handled and cared by hoeing on regular basis. Artificial fertilizers are also not used. Since the land has not been used for a long time, it is rested, and Helichrysum is known for its love for poor rocky soil.
Also, we dont use machines for harvest. Our small plantations (as all in the region, as we know) is harvested manually, two times per year, in June/July, and October.
AROMA: Unique clean, fresh, spicy, floral, slightly smoky notes and penetrating
QUALITIES: uplifting, and soothing. Used as a muscle rub massage oil, especially useful for sports people, helps reduce swelling, bruising, aches and pains. Excellent skin care oil and for those suffering from allergies. Also known as Immortelle, everlasting and curry plant.

March 25 2008, I, Scott Ballard smashed my right index finger between an axe handle and a thumb size branch stump and it hurt very badly on impact and left a centimeter circle of bloodied skin. I put a drop of Helichrysum italicum on it, three times since. Next day Finger is a little stiff, but much better, I can make a fist and touch it with little pain.
