Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 2

Sandy Everlasting (Helichrysum arenarium), also known as dwarf everlast or immortelle, has a long history of use in traditional European herbal medicine. Historically, the plant has been valued for its digestive, anti-inflammatory, and liver-supportive properties. Its use for emotional sensitivity, however, is based primarily on traditional herbalism and folk practices, particularly within flower essence therapy. In this context, practitioners have claimed that Sandy Everlasting flower essence can help with emotional resilience and sensitivity, supporting individuals in processing emotional wounds or trauma. These uses are generally rooted in the energetic or symbolic properties assigned to the plant rather than its biochemical constituents.

There is currently little to no scientific research directly examining the effects of Sandy Everlasting (or its extracts) on emotional sensitivity or mood disorders. Most available studies focus on its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and hepatoprotective effects, with no clinical trials assessing its psychological or emotional impacts. Thus, while Sandy Everlasting is sometimes used in traditional and complementary practices to support emotional sensitivity, this use is not backed by robust scientific evidence. The evidence rating of 2 reflects the presence of tradition and anecdotal reports, but an absence of validated clinical data for this specific indication.
