Everlast: Aromatherapy Centerpiece
Everlast (Helichrysum italicum) essential oil has experienced a simply stunning global career over the last 30 years. Its rise started from Corsica in the early nineties when French protagonists such as Franchomme, Pénoël, La Praz and Balz recognized its tissue rejuvenating qualities. The desire to have a young, beautiful complexion is universal. It did not take long before there was a globally marketed cosmetic line built around the seemingly magical powers of this oil. Scarce supply sent the price up inspiring forceful efforts to cultivate the plant previously only harvested in the wild.

The Sites: Corsica, Provence and Bosnia
Before 1990 Helichrysum oil was mostly distilled in Croatia and the Balkans to supply the flavor industry in Grasse. This supply line dried up as a result of the Yugoslav wars leaving Corsica as the only source.
After the wars Helichrysum oil was again cultivated in Bosnia. Recently the oil has also been distilled from cultivated plant inventory in Provence. It is important to note that harvesting wild Helichrysum in mainland France is illegal! Given this variety of cultivated and wild crafted oils it should be of prime interest to compare the different distillates.
Therapeutic Properties
According to French style aromatherapy Everlast oil counteracts and clears hematomas with astounding efficacy. It supports healing by protecting the newly formed tissue from the damaging effects of free radicals. It is a powerful anti-inflammatory agent and can normally be used, due to its extremely gentle character, undiluted to cleanse fresh injuries. More recently it has been recommended by French authors for Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS).

Keeping up the Good Spirits
In difficult times art helps to keep up the Good Spirits.
