Helichrysum italicum can be viewed as the sleeping giant of Mediterranean herbal medicine, and its extracts have the potential to be developed as dietary supplement ingredients. In the Greek-Roman system of medicine, H. italicum was used as an anti-inflammatory and anti-infective plant, and both uses are still well rooted in traditional medicine today [1]

Santini also observed positive results from the use of an aerosolized Helichrysum decoction for allergic rhinitis and a Helichrysum ointment for the treatment of solar and fire burns, chilblains, venous stasis, varicose veins, and hemorrhoids. [2]

Helichrysum italicum flowers and leaves are the most used parts in the treatment of health disorders such as allergies, colds, skin, liver and  gallbladder disorders.  [3]
