Helichrysum italicum
Mediterranean shrub with intense curry fragrance; essential oil used for wound healing and anti-aging.
Helichrysum italicum, also known as immortelle or curry plant, is a Mediterranean shrub whose essential oil is prized for wound healing and anti-aging applications. Its primary active compounds include neryl acetate, italidione, and various phloroglucinols, which contribute to its anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and vulnerary properties. Evidence is limited (Level C) but supports traditional uses for skin repair and infection prevention.
The essential oil's anti-inflammatory effects are mediated through inhibition of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and 5-lipoxygenase (5-LOX), reducing prostaglandin and leukotriene synthesis. Neryl acetate and italidione demonstrate antimicrobial activity by disrupting bacterial cell membranes and inhibiting fungal ergosterol synthesis. Phloroglucinols such as arzanol act as antioxidants and inhibit the NF-κB pathway, reducing pro-inflammatory cytokine production. Topical application promotes wound healing by enhancing fibroblast proliferation and collagen deposition.
