Clearing The Mind And Body With Hyssop Oil

Dear Friends,


Plant Origin: France, Hungary

Extraction Method: Stem distilled from stems/leaves

Hyssop has been known since Biblical times as a powerful healing agent. It was considered sacred by the ancient Greeks and was used for purifying the body and cleansing sacred spaces before ceremonies took place.

Today, Therapeutic-Grade Essential Oil of Hyssop is used to clean the body inside and out. It is thought to be supportive of the immune, digestive and nervous systems, and its effects on the respiratory system and improving breathing have also been studied.

Therapeutic-grade hyssop essential oil is said to bring a feeling of alertness to the person who uses it. Its fresh, woody scent is slightly sweet is invigorating and clarifying. Hyssop oil is thought to be helpful at eliminating feelings of fatigue and anxiety.

It has been reported that Hyssop Therapeutic-Grade Essential Oil can improve blood circulation and help improve low blood pressure. It is noted for its ability to ease symptoms of viral infections and respiratory problems such as coughs, sore throats, flu and asthma.

Hyssop oil is also thought to be helpful for colic, flatulence and indigestion and can help with bleeding and fluid retention problems involved with the monthly cycle.

Therapeutic-Grade Essential Hyssop Oil is a good choice for most people to use externally. It should not be used by women who are pregnant or by people suffering from epilepsy because of the component pinocamphone.

As with all essential oils, avoid getting hyssop oil into your eyes and be sure to wash and rinse your hands well before and after use. Hyssop oil usually does not cause skin sensitivities. It is a wonderful addition to massage oils or lotions that are used to ease stress and reduce anxiety.

Hyssop oil may also be helpful in reducing scarring and eliminating signs of bruising, so it is a good therapeutic-grade essential oil to use in a lotion for that purpose as well.

Another wonderful use of Therapeutic-Grade Essential Oil of Hyssop is in a steam treatment to help relieve respiratory problems. Just add a couple of drops to a bowl full of steaming water, put your head over the bowl and a towel over your head to seal in the steam. Breathe in the vapors for about 10 minutes and you should feel much better.

Hyssop is famously used in the French liqueur Chartreuse, but its uses go far beyond beverages.
