About Helichrysum arenarium

Helichrysum (Helichrysum arenarium), the dwarf everlast or sandy everlasting, is a low, woolly perennial of the daisy family, Asteraceae, native to dry sandy grasslands and dunes of central and eastern Europe and western Siberia. It grows 10-30 cm tall with narrow, grey-felted leaves and flat-topped clusters of small, papery, lemon-yellow flower heads that keep their color when dried, hence the name everlasting. The flowers have a faint spicy scent and a bitter taste. We extract the dried flower.

Tincture or alcohol-free drops?

Both start from the same dried plant material and cold maceration. The tincture uses organic alcohol as the solvent, keeps for years and is the classic herbal form. The alcohol-free drops (glycerite) use vegetable glycerin and purified water, taste mildly sweet and suit anyone avoiding alcohol. The amount of dried herb per serving is printed on each label.
