Wash me so I may be as white as snow.” This quote illustrates Hyssop’s seemingly cleansing effects on the body, mind, and soul.</span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Hyssop is an interesting herb with an affinity for nearly every part of the body, granting it a protective-like quality. Beginner friendly and with many medicinal indications, Hyssop is the perfect herb for you to get to know. </span></p><p><b>Common name: </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">Hyssop </span></p><p><b>Latin name:</b> <i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Hyssopus officinalis</span></i></p><p><b>Family: </b><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Lamiaceae</span></i></p><p><b>Tastes: </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">Pungent, Aromatic, Bitter</span></p><p><b>Affinities:</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Digestive, Respiratory, Liver, Kidneys and Urinary Tract, Cardiovascular/Circulation, Immunity/Febrile Mechanism, Female Reproductive </span></p><p><b>Actions: </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">Carminative, Bitter Tonic, Expectorant (main action, primarily stimulant expectorant), Spasmolytic, Diaphoretic, Diuretic, Antiseptic</span></p><p><b>Energetics:</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Warming, Drying (long term), Moistening (short term), Stimulant</span></p><p><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="aligncenter" src="https://www.evolutionaryherbalism.com/app/uploads/2023/01/PLANTS-Hyssop-Hyssopus-officinalis-flower-leaf-bee-Square.jpg" alt="" width="1076" height="1080" /></p><h2 style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Taste</span></h2><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Hyssop is a unique plant in that it is both bitter and aromatic. Some plants in the Mint family, like Lemon Balm (</span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Melissa officinalis</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">)</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">and Peppermint (</span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Mentha × piperita</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">)</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">, are strictly aromatic. Others, like Motherwort (</span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Leonurus cardiaca</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">), are straight bitter. Hyssop has both tastes, making it an aromatic bitter. You may find that your Hyssop tastes more bitter or aromatic depending on the individual crop yield, and this can change from season to season. Hyssop’s pungency is what grants it its “hot” feel and indicates its circulatory and warming effects on the body.</span></p><p><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Hyssop is stimulant, aromatic, carminative, and tonic. Principally used in quincy and other sore throats, as a gargle, combined with Sage and alum, in infusion sweetened with honey. Also recommended in asthma, coughs, and other affections of the chest, as an expectorant. The leaves apply to bruises, speedily relieve the pain, and disperse every spot or mark from the effect of parts.” ~ King’s Dispensatory</span></i></p><h2 style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Affinities</span></h2><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Aromatic bitters, like Hyssop, pretty much always have an affinity for the digestive system. Hyssop supports healthy digestion by stimulating secretions from the gastrointestinal tract (bitter), increasing blood flow to the gut (aromatic), and enhancing digestion and nutrient absorption. </span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Another core affinity of Hyssop is the respiratory system. It soothes the throat and opens the bronchial passages and lungs to support respiratory health. As a pungent herb, Hyssop increases circulation and impacts the cardiovascular, immune system, and febrile mechanism, which refers to the entire physiological process of how herbs work with a fever. </span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Hyssop has been used for liver stagnation patterns and jaundice and is known to promote diuresis. In this way, it influences the kidneys and urinary tract. Hyssop also has a slight affinity for the female reproductive system. Because of its circulatory stimulant properties and warming effect, it can be helpful for amenorrhea. </span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Hyssop has historical accounts of being used for nearly every organ system in the body, but the core organ affinities are digestion and respiration, and this is where you will see its actions really shine.</span></p><p><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="aligncenter size-medium" src="https://www.evolutionaryherbalism.com/app/uploads/2023/01/PLANTS-Hyssop-Hyssopus-officinalis-flower-leaf-Square-3.jpg" width="1076" height="1080" /></p><h2 style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Actions</span></h2><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">With its volatile oil compounds, Hyssop acts as a carminative by dispelling gas, wind, and bloating from the GI while driving blood flow to the gut. As a bitter tonic, it stimulates pancreatic enzymes, stomach acids, and the stimulation of bile through the liver and gallbladder. These digestive secretions help your body to digest your food better, absorb the nutrients, and prepare it for healthy elimination. </span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Hyssop is a choice stimulant expectorant herb because its warming property stimulates the lungs and the cough reflex to remove stagnant mucus. This herb is specifically indicated for when excess heat in the tissues has caused the mucus to “bake down,” causing it to adhere to the respiratory tissues and making it difficult to cough out. </span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It provides relief for this type of cough in two ways. First, its volatile oils penetrate the mucus, break it up, and make it easier to expel. Secondly, it increases secretions in the lungs through its bitter action, which helps moisten overly dry tissues. These fresh secretions introduce antibodies and immunological factors to the local area, which ultimately helps your body fight infection. </span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Although Hyssop is drying when used long-term, it has a short term moistening effect. For this reason, it is indicated for a hoarse voice, dry cough or throat, and lung conditions where mucus has lost moisture, sticks to the respiratory tissues, and is difficult to cough out. On top of this, it’s an excellent spasmolytic, relaxing tension in the bronchioles in asthmatic coughs, wheezing, and irritable spasmodic coughs.</span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Hyssop is a classic fever remedy, especially when accompanied by respiratory conditions. Hyssop stimulates diaphoresis, which makes the body sweat and drives heat from the core out to the periphery. It has long-traditional uses for febrile conditions like scarlet fever, measles, and typhoid fever. Although these are less prevalent today, you can think about how this may apply to modern-day conditions like COVID. While new variants display different symptoms than the original, Hyssop would have been indicated for that lingering dry cough so many people experienced after the infection had passed. </span></p><p><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-medium" src="https://www.evolutionaryherbalism.com/app/uploads/2023/01/PLANTS-Hyssop-Hyssopus-officinalis-flower-leaf-Square-2.jpg" width="1076" height="1080" /></p><h2 style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Energetics</span></h2><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Hyssop is a net-warming plant with a slightly moistening effect in the short-term and drying effect in the long term. Bitter herbs like Hyssop induce secretions that temporarily offer moisture to the tissues. However, they also drain fluids, which dries you out over time. You can see this dynamic in how Hyssop is indicated for a dry cough because of its moistening effects but is drying if you take this herb daily. This herb is not notably astringent or tonic in its influence on tissue tone and structure. In a different category altogether, Hyssop has a stimulant effect on the body energetically and drives circulation and activity. </span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">According to Ayurveda, Hyssop decreases </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">vata </span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">and </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">kapha </span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">while elevating </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">pitta</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">. The warming and drying attributes make it particularly helpful for </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">kapha</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">, which is</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">prone to patterns of excess cold. Since </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">pitta </span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">runs hot and is prone to excess heat and Hyssop is a warming herb, it is not recommended for them. It helps warm the coldness and relaxes the tension of excess </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">vata.</span></i></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Because Hyssop is so warming and stimulating, it balances the cold/depression tissue state. This is characterized by patterns of hypoactivity, low-functioning organ systems, and decreased vitality. It may seem counterintuitive to use Hyssop in cases of fever since it is so warming, but consider many diaphoretic herbs are warming, such as Ginger (</span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Zingiber officinale).</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> In that way, you can see that Hyssop is used for symptoms of heat or inflammation that arise from deeper patterns of cold/depression. As it stimulates the depressed tissue state beneath, it alleviates heat-like symptoms that surface as a vital response to cold. It’s also quite useful for the wind/tension tissue state, particularly in the respiratory tract. </span></p><figure id="attachment_32154" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-32154" style="width: 1024px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://www.evolutionaryherbalism.com/app/uploads/2023/01/PLANTS-Hyssop-Hyssopus-officinalis-flower-leaf-Landscape.jpg"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="wp-image-32154 size-large" src="https://www.evolutionaryherbalism.com/app/uploads/2023/01/PLANTS-Hyssop-Hyssopus-officinalis-flower-leaf-Landscape-1024x683.jpg" alt="" width="1024" height="683" srcset="https://www.evolutionaryherbalism.com/app/uploads/2023/01/PLANTS-Hyssop-Hyssopus-officinalis-flower-leaf-Landscape-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://www.evolutionaryherbalism.com/app/uploads/2023/01/PLANTS-Hyssop-Hyssopus-officinalis-flower-leaf-Landscape-300x200.jpg 300w, https://www.evolutionaryherbalism.com/app/uploads/2023/01/PLANTS-Hyssop-Hyssopus-officinalis-flower-leaf-Landscape-768x512.jpg 768w, https://www.evolutionaryherbalism.com/app/uploads/2023/01/PLANTS-Hyssop-Hyssopus-officinalis-flower-leaf-Landscape-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://www.evolutionaryherbalism.com/app/uploads/2023/01/PLANTS-Hyssop-Hyssopus-officinalis-flower-leaf-Landscape.jpg 1620w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-32154" class="wp-caption-text">Hyssop (Hyssopus officinalis)</figcaption></figure><h2 style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Psychological and Emotional Aspects</span></h2><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">David Dalton, a flower essence practitioner, shares that Hyssop is for people who struggle with internalized feelings of shame and punish themselves for feeling “unclean.” They feel like they don’t deserve good things in life and may fear punishment– whether from a person or God. </span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">With references to Hyssop’s spiritual and cleansing uses in the bible and psalms combined with its whole-body support, it seems to have an overall cleaning effect on the body, mind, and soul. </span></p><h2 style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Alchemical Correspondences</span></h2><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Culpeper placed Hyssop under the rulership of Jupiter, which isn’t a very obvious correspondence to me. Perhaps he drew this conclusion because Jupiter is known as the great benefic, and confers an innate protection wherever it resides in your natal chart. With Hyssop’s effect on nearly the entire body and working as a constitutional slightly purifying herb, you can see how it has an overall Jupiter-like protective effect on your health. </span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">That said, I tend to think of Hyssop as a mercurial plant. Its slender and thin morphology combined with its upward growing pattern alludes to a Mercury, and its aromatic property and actions attributed to its volatile oils are distinctly mercurial too, especially when coupled with its bitterness. Its primary affinity for the respiratory tract is clearly a Mercury correspondence as well, being the primary organ system governed by this planet, as well as its usefulness as a spasmolytic and easing the wind/tension tissue state. </span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Hyssop has several indications that place it under the Fire Element. Morphologically, the leaves are lance-shaped and come to a nice pointed tip. You can see further correspondences with Hyssop’s dispersive and stimulant actions. It also has the warming property indicated for patterns of cold, which is a natural Fire Element attribute. </span></p><figure id="attachment_32153" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-32153" style="width: 1024px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://www.evolutionaryherbalism.com/app/uploads/2023/01/PLANTS-Hyssop-Hyssopus-officinalis-flower-leaf-Landscape-3.jpg"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="wp-image-32153 size-large" src="https://www.evolutionaryherbalism.com/app/uploads/2023/01/PLANTS-Hyssop-Hyssopus-officinalis-flower-leaf-Landscape-3-1024x685.jpg" alt="" width="1024" height="685" srcset="https://www.evolutionaryherbalism.com/app/uploads/2023/01/PLANTS-Hyssop-Hyssopus-officinalis-flower-leaf-Landscape-3-1024x685.jpg 1024w, https://www.evolutionaryherbalism.com/app/uploads/2023/01/PLANTS-Hyssop-Hyssopus-officinalis-flower-leaf-Landscape-3-300x201.jpg 300w, https://www.evolutionaryherbalism.com/app/uploads/2023/01/PLANTS-Hyssop-Hyssopus-officinalis-flower-leaf-Landscape-3-768x514.jpg 768w, https://www.evolutionaryherbalism.com/app/uploads/2023/01/PLANTS-Hyssop-Hyssopus-officinalis-flower-leaf-Landscape-3.jpg 1168w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-32153" class="wp-caption-text">Hyssop (Hyssopus officinalis)</figcaption></figure><h2 style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Growing Hyssop </span></h2><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Hyssop is a vibrant plant that is easy to grow and flourishes with minimal effort. Like many plants in the Mint family, this herb tends to take up on its own once you plant it. If you doubt your green thumb capabilities, this is a good plant to begin with as are many of its mint family relatives. </span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">You can germinate Hyssop by seed, sow it in flats, and plant them in the springtime. Hyssop is a wonderful plant for pollinators, and you can expect it to attract the butterflies and honeybees enjoying the pollen of the vibrant purple flowers. Hyssop is a straightforward plant and a good one to have in your garden.</span></p><h2 style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Preparation</span></h2><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Harvest Hyssop fresh and strip the aerial leaves from the stems while in flower to make medicine. It tinctures well, fresh, with 60% alcohol. You can use the tincture by itself, in a larger formula, or as the base for a cough syrup. If you prefer to use the dried plant, harvest the aerial parts, dry them, and use them in teas later on throughout the year. The dried leaves are best tinctured at 40-50% alcohol. </span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It’s exciting to find biblical references to herbs used in today’s Materia Medica. As much as you can learn about herbs from a biomedical perspective and study their chemical constituents, these ancient references offer you insight into the spiritual and traditional uses of a plant that science can’t speak to. With a holistic understanding of Hyssop, you can now use it in your practice to benefit your heart, mind, body, and soul. </span></p><h2 style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Formula</span></h2><p><b>Stimulant Expectorant Tincture Formula</b></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">25% Osha (</span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Ligusticum spp.</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">)</span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">25% Elecampane (</span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Inula helenium</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">)</span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">20% California Spikenard (</span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Aralia californica</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">) </span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">20% Hyssop (</span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Hyssopus officinalis</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">)</span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">10% Licorice (</span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Glycyrrhiza glabra</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">)</span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This formula combines 4 pungent, hot, and aromatic stimulant expectorants that are excellent for wet, boggy, mucus laden coughs. The oils and resins of Elecampane, Osha, California Spikenard and Hyssop will help disperse stagnant phlegm, lift it up from the mucosal membrane, and stimulate a more productive cough. These stimulant expectorants are balanced with the soothing and demulcent Licorice, which prevents the formula from being too dry on the respiratory tissues, especially as moisture energetics tend to change rapidly in acute respiratory conditions.</span></p><figure id="attachment_32157" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-32157" style="width: 600px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://www.evolutionaryherbalism.com/app/uploads/2023/01/Hyssop-Pinnable-Image.png"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="wp-image-32157" src="https://www.evolutionaryherbalism.com/app/uploads/2023/01/Hyssop-Pinnable-Image-1024x1024.png" alt="" width="600" height="600" srcset="https://www.evolutionaryherbalism.com/app/uploads/2023/01/Hyssop-Pinnable-Image-1024x1024.png 1024w, https://www.evolutionaryherbalism.com/app/uploads/2023/01/Hyssop-Pinnable-Image-300x300.png 300w, https://www.evolutionaryherbalism.com/app/uploads/2023/01/Hyssop-Pinnable-Image-150x150.png 150w, https://www.evolutionaryherbalism.com/app/uploads/2023/01/Hyssop-Pinnable-Image-768x768.png 768w, https://www.evolutionaryherbalism.com/app/uploads/2023/01/Hyssop-Pinnable-Image.png 1080w" sizes="(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px" /></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-32157" class="wp-caption-text">Save, Share or Pin this image for future reference!</figcaption></figure> </div>
