About Hyssop (Hyssopus officinalis)
Fun fact: In the 10th century, Benedictine monks introduced hyssop to Europe
as an ingredient for liqueurs.
Hyssop, also known as the holy herb, is mentioned numerous times in the Holy
Bible. Used by powerful biblical leaders, like David, Moses, Solomon, and Jesus,
hyssop cleansed and purified mankind, both internally and externally. It was
also used to wash and polish sacred places. Others embraced hyssop as well.
The Greeks used hyssop for respiratory problems. Persians used hyssop in a type
of body lotion to give the skin a fine color. Indians used it to reduce body
tissue fluids, to alleviate bruises, and to soothe cuts and wounds. And Europeans
in the 17th century used hyssop as an air freshener. Once used extensively across
the globe, its use in the Western world diminished as modern day medicine took
its place. Now with a resurgence in acceptance of holistic therapies, hyssop
is once again a therapeutic leader.
