History and Uses:
Hyssop is native to Europe and temperate
Asia and grows wild in warm countries with dry soil. It is now cultivated
in the warmer parts of the United States, and the part of this plant used medicinally
is the above ground portion. The name, Hyssop, is said to be derived from the Greek word, azob, and
Hebrew word, ezob, meaning "holy herb," as it was once used to purify places
of worship. Hyssop was well known in ancient Egypt and is mentioned in the
Book of Exodus (scholars believe the Hyssop of this reference was Origanum
aegyptiacum, rather than Hyssopus officinalis). In seventeenth-century
Europe, Hyssop was used as a strewing herb to be walked upon and to deter the
spread of infection. Hyssop flowers are much relished by bees and butterflies,
especially since the plant has such a long flowering season. Hyssop's antispasmodic
action makes it useful in treating many respiratory conditions, such as asthma,
cough and bronchitis. The primary chemical constituents include essential
oil (pinene, camphene, camphor, terpinene), tannin, flavonoid (hyssopin), glycoside (diosmin) and bitter lactones (marrubiin, ursolic
acid). Hyssop's diaphoretic properties also make it useful for the common
cold. As a nervine, it may be used in anxiety states and hysteria. Hyssop
is the herb-like ingredient used in Chartreuse, Benedictine and other liqueurs.
It is often planted as a companion to cabbage (deters the cabbage moth)
and grapes. Topical applications of this herb have included use as a gargle
for sore throat, as a poultice or compress for bruises, sprains, wounds and insect
bites, as a bath herb for rheumatism, and as a salve or chest rub for congestion.
The essential oil has been used to enhance mental alertness and to relieve
anxiety and exhaustion. The diluted essential oil has also been used to
treat herpes lesions and scars.
