Hyssop Oil  Hyssopus officinalis

Hyssop was regarded by both the Greeks and the Hebrews as a sacred herb—in fact, the Latin word hissopus is likely related to the Hebrew azob meaning “holy herb.” The hyssop plant is a small shrub with dark green leaves and purple flowers that is a member of the mint family. The leaves of the hyssop plant are known to be some of the oldest herbs used by human beings and are still used commonly by beekeepers to produce a rich and aromatic honey. All parts of the plant—flower, leaf, and stem—are steam-distilled into Hyssop essential oil that offers a refreshingly soft floral aroma. CPTG Certified Pure Tested Grade™ Hyssop essential oil can be used in a diffuser during meditation. Inhale deeply and experience the refreshing aroma. Massage into skin for soothing sensation after a workout.
