Hyssop herbHyssop uses, hyssop tea & essential oilA brief discussion of hyssop herb follows including our links to our pages on hyssop uses & benefits, hyssop tea and hyssop essential oil.
The Ancient Greeks also used hyssop as a decongestant. Medieval and 17th century herbalists also used hyssop for chest congestion. (However, its use in antiquity is shrouded in doubt as many herbs were referred to as hyssop but were not what we refer to as hyssop. So we can’t be sure that hyssop referred to then was always the hyssop we refer to now.) Modern herbalists use hyssop to treat bruises, burns, congestion, coughs and upset stomach. Contemporary hyssop uses confirms benefits ascribed by ancient healers but have also discounted several other uses that there is no scientific evidence for. Hyssop tea, hyssop essential oil and compresses are the three main uses of this herb. The plant and flowers are used to make both. It is generally considered safe to take but pregnant women should not use without medical consent. As in antiquity, several other plants are also called “hyssop.” If you wish to use hyssop, proper, be sure you are getting “hyosspus officinalis.” Other herbs termed “hyssop” include hedge hyssop (Gratiola officinalis), the giant hyssops and the water hyssop. The last ones should not be taken internally. ……………………………….... Hyssop LINKS ………………………………....
