Description
Hyssop is a lavender-like flower that has been used for healing and cleansing purposes since Ancient times, when influential physicians such as Hippocrates and Galen waxed lyrical on its virtues. Friendly to bees, hyssop’s starry flowers decorate the Mediterranean, its native soil. The name “hyssop“ comes from the Hebrew ezob - holy herb - and it is mentioned in the Bible. Its oil has a powerful aroma, woody yet fresh, minty and sweet, that brings a cooling, purifying effect.
