Curry plant

The Curry plant has been around for a very long time, has many uses today.  The Curry plant is part of the Daisy family, and it's species name is Helichrysum Italicum.  There are many uses for the Curry plant, one of which is the use in dried flower arrangements because after picking the flowers keep there yellow coloring.  There are also some medical uses for the blossoms and oils of the Curry plant that I will mention next.

The Curry plant is a anti-inflammatory, fungicidal, and astringent.  That is why it is so widely used in medicine.  It is also used for soothing burns, and helping chapping skin.  It is also used for sprains and other impact injuries for swelling, a thin layer will be enough to help.  Put your index finger over the opening of the bottle and tip it so you get a coating on your finger and spread on area that is swelling or going to swell.  It also is known to speed up the healing of minor cuts, acne, and other things.  It's been said to help not get scars and for speeding up healing due to it's regenerating powers.

Another good use is if you use it in a diffuser, it's said that it is a releaser of Qi (Chi), and unblocks and regulates the energy of the body.  It also may help people that are emotionally blocked, it also is said to help letting out the deepest of emotions in the body, restoring freedom and compassion to the soul.

One thing to remember that this is NOT the Curry they use in Indian cooking dishes.  This Curry is has grey colored leaves and is not very flavorful.  Even though it smells similar to the Curry you cook with it's not.  The Curry you use when cooking is actually a large variety of different cooking spices.

Hopefully this site has helped you figure out the benefits of the Curry plant.  Some of the uses for it, and how to use it.  And most importantly that the Curry plant (Hellichrysum Italicum) is not the same as the Curry that you cook with.  If you have any more questions please contact us, we would like to hear any comments you may have regarding the Curry plant.
