Product description:
Hyssop Essential Oil is obtained by steam distillation of the flowering top of the evergreen perennial shrub Hyssopus officinalis, which is native to The Iberian Peninsula from Southern Europe to the temperate zones of Asia and has been used over many centuries by various ancient civilizations for its therapeutic, aromatic and spiritual benefits.
In Ancient Greece, Hippocrates used it in his healing poultices and it was he who gave it the name Hyssop, derived from the Hebrew word “ezob” meaning “Holy Herb”. The other part of its name “officinalis” is medieval Latin for plants beneficial in herbalism.
The Ancient Romans hung dried Hyssop in their homes to protect their homes from the plague, to keep out the evil eye or negative energy and spirits. Its reputation as a protector even led people to leave it at the graves of their loved ones to protect them even in death.
In the Bible, Hyssop was mentioned 12 times once by David, who when referring to the spiritual washing required for his cleansing said, "Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow." (Psalm 51:7)
Hyssop Essential Oil is still used even now for many of these, its abundance of therapeutic and awesome skincare benefits including anti-aging, anti-acne, skin tightening, firming, cleansing etc.
