What makes Eastern Adriatic Sea Italicum variety of Helichrysum profoundly special?
There are a hundreds of Helichrysum varieties, throughout the world, but few-only produce essential oil. Furthermore, out of these few ones, Italicum varieties hold the most prominent therapeutic/healing characteristics.
Moreover, it has been acknowledged that the indigenous Italicum species, originating from the Eastern Adriatic Sea coastal area, more specifically, Dalmatia, and Herzegovina regions, are being distinguished by possessing the most healing chemotype, comparing to rest of the, before-mentioned, Italicum existing varieties.
What this means in practice, and why it is important? Let us take the region of Herzegovina, as an example:
Herzegovina is a worldwide heritage of more than 700 medicinal herbs and plants, many of which are endemic. That being said, it is exactly the synergy of the specific (rocky) soil and climatic qualities (mix of warm Mediterranean, and cold Alpine mountains climate) of this region, that is resulting in the inimitable chemotype characteristics of Helichrysum Italicum, and other essential oils, distilled from the herbs and plants, collected within itâ??s borders.
