Description
Traditional Use: The Hebrew people called this herb azob, meaning “holy herb.” Hyssop was used in ancient times as a cleansing herb for temples and other sacred places. It was also used to repel insects. The Romans used hyssop to bring protection from the plague and prepared an herbal wine containing hyssop.
Common Use: Hyssop is used for digestive and intestinal problems including liver and gallbladder conditions, intestinal pain, intestinal gas, colic, and loss of appetite. It is also used for respiratory problems including coughs, the common cold, respiratory infections, sore throat, and asthma.
Dispensing: No standard, safe dosage has been determined for hyssop. A typical dose is 2 grams of dried herb made into tea, up to three times per day. Some people take between 10 and 30 drops of hyssop oil per day, but long-term use of hyssop oil isn’t recommended due to the increased risk of seizure
