Essential Oil – Hyssop

• A fresh, warm, and spicy-herbaceous aroma.
• It opens with a strong camphorous burst, similar to a mix of Rosemary and Eucalyptus, but quickly softens into a sweet, woody-floral heart.
• There is an underlying peppery warmth that makes it feel much more "solid" and "grounding" than typical camphorous oils.
• It smells intensely "clean," like a sun-drenched Mediterranean hillside after a rain

• The "Mucus Mover": Hyssop is one of the most effective expectorants in aromatherapy. It is used to liquefy and expel thick, stubborn mucus from the lungs and bronchial tubes.
• Managing Asthma & Bronchitis: It helps ease the tightness in the chest and calms the spasms associated with chronic respiratory conditions (use with professional guidance).
• Soothing Coughs: Effective at calming "hacking" coughs and clearing the throat of irritation.
• Sinus Relief: Helps reduce inflammation in the sinus cavities and promotes drainage during heavy congestion.

Physical Healing & First Aid

• Fading Bruises: Hyssop is famous for its ability to clear bruising quickly by stimulating local circulation and helping the body reabsorb "trapped" blood.
• Wound Healing: Its antiseptic and cicatrizant properties support the healing of minor cuts, scrapes, and slow-to-heal sores.
• Digestive Tonic: When massaged (highly diluted) onto the abdomen, it can help relieve gas, bloating, and sluggish digestion.
• Regulating Blood Pressure: Traditionally used in aromatherapy to help normalize blood pressure, whether it is too high or too low (hypertensive/hypotensive support).

Emotional & Spiritual Purification

• Cleansing the "Spirit": Long used in ritual cleansing, it is believed to wash away "sins," guilt, and heavy emotional burdens.
• Dispelling Grief: Helps individuals move through deep sorrow and provides the emotional strength needed to "purge" old, painful memories.
• Focus & Alertness: Helps clear mental "fog" and provides a sense of clarity during times of confusion or spiritual crisis.
• Protective Barrier: Used to help sensitive individuals create a psychological "shield" against the negative energies of others.

Women’s Health

• Menstrual Regulation: Acts as an emmenagogue, helping to stimulate and regulate sparse or irregular menstrual cycles.
• Relieving Cramps: Its antispasmodic properties help soothe the painful uterine contractions associated with the monthly cycle.

• USE WITH CAUTION. Hyssop (H. officinalis) contains ketones that can be neurotoxic.
• It must be avoided during pregnancy, while breastfeeding, and by anyone with epilepsy or high blood pressure.
• It should not be used on children. Always use in very low dilutions (less than 1%)
