PLEASE GO TO THE NEW UPDATED PAGE HERE (this is an old version!)
Helichrysum oil, also known as ‘Everlasting’ and ‘Immortal’ essential oil, is made from the European flower species H.Angustifolium and H. Italicum. The oil is well known for its restorative properties to the skin, liver and nervous system but I discovered that it is also known for its ability to help ear health problems such as hearing loss and tinnitus.
I’ve compiled all the information and positive reports from users that I found here so you don’t have to search for it. They should link to the original page:
Good for nerve damage. Also use for ringing in ears. Put on mastoid bone and ringing disappears.
Off course I can’t verify any of these statements but I decided to give it a try anyway. It’s quite a scarce plant so prices are high and my 5 ml bottle cost me just over £20 (Corsican variety of H. italicum). But given it it has so many wonderful benefits I wanted to introduce it to my medicinal kit. Anyway, for me, I would give every last penny I have to get my hearing back so what’s £20 anyway?
I’ve been using Helichrysum oil for about a month now every night before I go to bed. I’m massaging a few drops of it undiluted, directly to the outside of my ears and just inside the bowl (please do not put ANYTHING directly into your ears) and all around the ear at the scalp and a bit down the neck. Its a nice soothing thing to do for oneself and takes very little time to do. I’m going to start massaging it into the ear reflexology points of my feet from now on. This is just below the two little toes
Its already shown itself to be a fantastic wound healer. I had a really deep cut to my thumb from a clumsy accident with the guillotine. It wouldn’t heal for at least a week. When my Helichrysum Oil finally arrived I dabbed a bit of it on my wound and the next day it seemed to have started healing over. It really was quite a difference.
Some of the properties of Helichrysum Essential Oil that I found online:
- Encourages cell growth and repair – speeds up the healing of wounds, bruises and bones, and reduces the appearance of skin marks, wrinkles, stretch marks and scars.
- Smooths, moisturizes and softens skin. Used in anti-aging products for its rejuvenating benefits to the skin (emollient)
- Reduces swelling and inflammation (anti-inflammatory)
- Can ease digestive, facial, or pulmonary spasms as well as other muscle spasms (Anti-spasmodic)
- Helps to thin the blood (anti-coagulant)
- Protects wounds from becoming septic and can be directly applied to wounds, cuts, pricks, and any other open sores that could become infected (antiseptic)
- Protects the body against many microbial infections – anti-microbial/anti-viral/anti-fungal.
- Strengthens, regenerates and protects the nervous system (nervine)
- Soothes, regulates, protects and detoxifies the liver (hepatic)
- Keeps the spleen healthy and free from infections (splenic)
- Clears accumulation of blood or blood clots (anti-hematic)
- Expectorant – warms the respiratory system and gives relief from continuous cough and congestion
- Energetically and emotionally –
- opens and strengthens the solar plexus
- uplifts and increases feeling of safety and security.
- cuts through emotional blocks and allows release of repressed emotions.
- strengthens patience, persistence and compassion
- for those who do too much, try to control too much and take too little time out for themselves causing resentment, frustration, irritability, and moodiness. For those with a negative attitude brought on by the vulnerability of emotional trauma.
Given these properties, Helichrysum Oil is indicated within the treatment of
skin disorders, digestive disorders, bronchitis, colds, coughs, gallbladder infections, menstrual cramps, and sinus infections, asthma, bronchitis, whooping cough, headaches, liver ailments, arthritis, backache, carpal tunnel syndrome, rheumatism, and sciatica, varicose veins, hearing loss and tinnitus….and much more.
Other oils indicated to help for tinnitus and hearing loss conditions include:
Lavender, Geranium, Cypress and Juniper Berry.
Have you found any benefits to your hearing loss or tinnitus from Helichrysum Oil?
Please let me know…comment below. I’d really like this blog to become a resource of positive news stories for others recovering from this condition or similar ones. There is WAY TOO MUCH information online telling us that hearing loss cannot be restored….with this brain-washing it’s no wonder we don’t get better!
Our minds are powerful, lets focus on tapping into the body’s innate healing capability. We must believe it is possible. So lets put all the good new stories in one place and focus on those x
Sounds like a fascinating oil. Never heard of this one before. It’s interesting you mention the foot reflexology point just under the little toe – I broke the bone in my left little toe a week ago and the surrounding area is bruised and for the last 2 days I’ve had pulsatile tinnitus in my left ear! It demonstrates the connection rather neatly!

I used the Helichryum oil on my mother’s ears & it was the most amazing thing I’ve ever seen! After just a few days, possibly close to a week, we were standing in the kitchen. She asked what that sound was. I had to listen & figure out what she was talking about. It was the toaster oven making a slight ticking sound! She said that she never knew that the toaster made any sound at all! Her hearing continued to improve.
Sadly, she began to have strokes and passed away before her hearing was totally restored! But if nothing else, that made me a belever in the Essential oils!
I have had many amazing things happen using the essential oils!

Dear Candice
Thank you so much for sharing all this information and giving me and others hope. I was diagnosed with labrynthitis in May and it came with hearing loss in my left ear. The ENT specialists have now said that I have permanent hearing loss and there’s nothing more that they can do to help. I also now have tinnitus in my right ear and I’m really worried about losing my hearing in this ear too.
I’d be willing to try this oil, but like others would welcome information about the best quality there is out there. Any recommendations would be gratefully received.
Many thanks

There is no guarantee this will restore your hearing. All I have done is compile the information I’ve found online in one place…just rub a drop or two into your fingers and massage around the outer ear (not inside ear) every day. Let me know if it works for you.

I really liked this article, however I am not aware of oils you use, or their quality, I learned more as if it is too cheap I better be suspicious. As for me at least in United states there are currently 2 companies providing pure quality oils one is do terra and other is Young Living, the second one is older and has it own farms where the process is highly controled. Im not gonna brag about it, but I settled for young living few years back when I discovered having low thyroid, with their oils and suplements I compeletly healed my thyroid, so I totally understand what it means when someone says it has to be like that to the rest of your life. I skept hormonal trestments because I didnt want to to live that way all ,y life plus I was afraid of side effects. I am addicted to those oils,slowly I am learning more and teaching my family tp use those as seems like pills arent needed anymore for us. Also just wanted to mention for the lady who said oil didnt work for her. First is quality, oils supposed to be able to work on molecular level,tested many different ways, and be cool distilled ( thats just in short) second it slowly detoxyfies the body,more detoxed, oil will work faster, for 3rd which very few mentions the body needs proper vitamin intake for oils to reach their full potential, and lots of us with today bad food do not have proper vitamin intake. At the end of the day the plant itself is a very powerful medicine, we treat it as something easy yet, for example certain herbs can badly interract with chemical pills, or even be blocked by them, aromatherapy requires constant learning in order to make the best out of it 🙂 and that is how this article ended up in my google search, Good job!!!

For me I’m a young adult brain cancer Survivor who suffers from severe hearing loss in my left ear and profound in my right due to years of intense chemo, radiation, and BMT treatments.

Yes you will definitely need to dilute it. Please do read my other posts on natural healing as I do strongly believe that hearing loss needs to be healed by getting to the root cause…which is normally things like viral infection, toxicity and overburdened liver. I have not yet had anyone contact me to say that Helichrysum Oil has cured them since I compiled this article. Part of the problem I think is that the oil is so expensive it is prohibits longer term use.
