A plant much admired for the beauty of its blooms, Helichrysum comes from the Greek word helisso (meaning "to turn around") and chrysos (meaning "gold"). Europeans historically used Helichrysum as an anti-inflammatory. Native to Africa, it has also been used by East and West African cultures, and is particularly wide-spread in its use in traditional Southern African tribal medicine. The Xhosa tribe used it to treat wounds topically, and the Zulu and Xhosa burned the leaves of the plant as an incense for ceremonial rituals. Historically, it was also revered as a powerful aphrodisiac for attracting a lover. Medically, it has been used as a traditional herb for chest complaints, colic, fever, internal sores, coughs, colds, headaches and topical uses.
