The essential oil of hyssop diffused in a sickroom to help control germs and clear the air. The herbs bitter principle, marrubin, also contributes to its use as a digestive stimulant.

 Essential oil of hyssop is a light golden-yellow color, it is fairly expensive. The scent is difficult to describe, it is not like any other, but is somewhat like a mixture of basil, geranium and thyme. Hyssop is an effective decongestant and disinfectant and has a calming effect, soothing to nervous tension. |

 Hyssop comes from the Hebrew name AEsob, and from the Greek hysoppus. The plant is mentioned many times in the Bible, and is one of the bitter herbs to be taken over passover. Hippocrates, Galen, and Dioscorides all recommended hyssop, mentions of the plant appear in all the great herbals of the middle ages. Hasnain Walji, Ph.D, The Healing Power of Aromatherapy (1996) |
|
 The herb is Jupiter's, and the sign Cancer. It strengthens all the parts of the body under Cancer and Jupiter; which what they may be, is found amply described in my astrological judgment of diseases. Dioscorides saith, that Hyssop boiled with rue and honey, and drank, helps those that are troubled with coughs, shortness of breath, wheezing and rheumatic distillation upon the lungs Nicholas Culpeper | |
