BOTANICAL NAME: Helichrysum Splendidum
  • Product Info

    Helichrysum Splendidum, more commonly known as 'Cape Gold', is a beautiful shrub that gets its name from its radiant yellow flowers. Naturally grown throughout Eastern South African mountain gullies and slopes, this fast-growing, woolly shrub, part of the Helichrysum family, has been a widely utilized asset in local traditions throughout time. Some of those said indigenous uses include connecting with past ancestors, clearing spaces of negativity, and being used for its famous anti-rheumatic properties. Overall, Cape Gold essential oil has been used for centuries to bring harmony and health into homes, and the demand only continues to rise as the world evolves into the modern age.

    Promotes Skin Cell Regeneration

    One of the leading reasons Helichrysum Splendidum essential oil is used for wound and skincare treatments is due to its profound cell regeneration abilities. In fact, the Helichrysum family is known to be the number one essential oil for skin regeneration, proven to increase collagen production, reverse skin rashes, speed up wound healing. Furthermore, it can help reduce or eliminate the appearance of scars and blemishes and boost the development of healthy skin layers.

    In summary, cape gold essential oil is an organic antibacterial agent and skin regenerative that, when applied topically, supports the body's natural skin cell regeneration to unlock the benefits mentioned above. Remember, a few drops of Helichrysum Splendidum essential oil mixed with a carrier oil will go a long way.

    Monumental Anti-inflammatory Properties

    Featuring potent anti-inflammatory and anti-microbe properties, Helichrysum Splendidum essential oil can be used to relieve joint and muscle pain, such as rheumatism. Simply massaging the oil mixed with a preferred carrier oil onto the affected area can quickly soothe pain points caused by inflammation and promote better mobility and flexibility by reducing swelling. For those who are looking for an alternative oil application, consider adding a few drops into a warm bath for all-around acute or chronic pain relief.

    Activates Blood and Lymphatic Circulation

    The circulatory system moves blood throughout the body, and the lymphatic system moves fluid from the interstitial spaces of body tissues towards the circulatory system. This is where many of the elements host immune defenses and how your body removes toxins. When this flow is too slow, it can pose significant health risks such as brain fog, stiffness, finger swelling, chronic fatigue, and painful conditions such as cellulitis.

    Because of the severity of not having good circulation, using cape gold essential oil can shield against it. This oil is an anti-inflammatory that can reduce swelling and stimulate the lymphatic system. To gain this benefit, perform a lymphatic massage using the oil in conjunction with a carrier oil. This will promote blood circulation, decrease swelling, and improve lymph flow.

    The genus ‘Helichrysum’ holds about 600 different species worldwide, with nearly 250 of them distributed across South Africa. Cape Gold happens to be one of them and has been widely studied to see what it entails at a molecular level.
