Hyssop ( Hyssopus Officinalis ) 1 L Container
**Hyssop (Hyssopus officinalis)**
Hyssop has been used for centuries in Mediterranean and European herbal traditions as a cleansing and uplifting herb. Traditionally, it was valued for supporting respiratory health, promoting purification, and enhancing spiritual clarity.
Herbally, Hyssop is a **carminative, expectorant, and mild nervine**, helping to ease respiratory congestion, support digestion, and calm tension. Key constituents include **volatile oils (pinocamphone, isopinocamphone), flavonoids, and tannins**, which contribute to its aromatic and therapeutic effects.
Energetically, Hyssop is **warming, drying, and stimulating**, making it useful where stagnation, dampness, or sluggishness affects the lungs, digestion, or energy levels.
In traditional correspondences, it is linked with **Mars**, the **element of Fire**, and is considered a **masculine herb**, bringing purification, strength, and vitality.
Hyssop is a **perennial herb** with woody stems, narrow dark green leaves, and spikes of blue-purple flowers. The **aerial parts are best harvested during flowering**, when essential oils are most concentrated.
⚠ **Cautions:** Avoid during pregnancy and high doses due to strong volatile oils. Use with care if prone to seizures or on certain medications.
