It is elegant to inhale in a diffuser, as a chest balm, and in our salt pipe.
"A perennial plant with a stem from three to four feet high; large saw-toothed leaves tapering to a stalk; and large heads of yellow flowers. The flowers have an aromatic camphor-like taste, due to the presence of a crystalline substance called Helenin, allied in chemical constitution to Kreosote. It also contains a quantity of starchy material, called Inulin, which differs from ordinary starch in being colored yellow by Iodine."
~ Dioscordes, 1st century A.D.
"Inula graveolens is generally only found on the French aromatherapy market, and even then at a very high price and only in years with a very good harvest... It is so effective that a family of four using it correctly will certainly not need more than 5 milliliters one year... The best method of use is in a diffusor at night... Otherwise one can certainly put a drop on a pillow."
~ Kurt Schnaubelt, Advanced Aromatherapy
