10 ml Hyssop Essential Oil
Hyssop Essential Oil — 10ml
Hyssop is one of the oldest medicinal plants in recorded history — mentioned in the Bible as a purifying herb, used by Hippocrates and Dioscorides in ancient Greece, and a fixture of European monastic medicine throughout the Middle Ages. Steam-distilled from the leaves and flowering tops of Hyssopus officinalis grown in Slovenia, it delivers a warm, sweet, slightly camphorous herbaceous aroma with a clean, slightly medicinal edge. It has been used for centuries as an expectorant and respiratory remedy, and its complex aromatic profile makes it a valued ingredient in liqueurs including Chartreuse.
