Therapeutic Uses
History
Highly valued since antiquity for therapeutic properties. It was one of the bitter herbs mentioned in the Old Testement, and Hippocrates prescribed it for pleurisy and bronchitis.

Seizures: Hyssop is sometimes mentioned to be contraindicated for epilepsy. The convulsant action of hyssop oil is assumed to be due to its content of pinocamphone (31.2–42.7%) and isopinocamphone (30.9–39.2%). Tests on rats involved injecting large amounts to produce seizures. There are "three reported cases of low-dose hyssop oil ingestion by humans resulting in convulsions." In each case, the person swallowed 10 drops - 1mL of the oil. (Tisserand/Young) Hyssop var decumbens does NOT have a significant amount of pinocamphone or thujone.

Aromatherapy Literature Notes

Kurt Schnaubelt wrote in The Healing Intelligence of Essential Oils: The Science of Advanced Aromatherapy:
"As a nontoxic, powerful antiviral Hyssop decumbens (Hyssopus off. var. montana intermedia) can be used for adults and infants. It can be dabbed undiluted on herpes lesions or fever blisters inside the mouth. It is an excellent component in synergies for sinusitis and bronchitis. As a respectable sympathotonic, the oil eases nervous depression, anxiety, and asthma-related symptoms. To explore, use it in the shower or integrate it into a lotion!"

"To treat herpes, the oil or oil blend is applied directly onto the lesions. This can be done with a Q-tip or simply by dabbing a drop onto the lesion with the finger. This is repeated frequently at the beginning of the treatment. (Doing this 5 to 10 times on the first day of treatment is fine.) Fever blisters inside the mouth can be treated in exactly the same way. In this case it is advantageous to use Hyssop decumbens, as its taste and feel inside the mouth is somewhat more agreeable than the turpentine explosions set off by many other essential oils. Even though there is no adverse effect attached to these turpentine explosions, they require a certain amount of getting used to until they are tolerated or even appreciated with a shrug."

"To treat acute and chronic bronchitis and cough in infants the essential oil of Hyssop decumbens (CAUTION: It is absolutely critical not to confuse this oil with Hyssop officinalis var pinocamphone)."

"The treatment of persistent bronchitis conditions for small children (one year and older) with suppositories with the mildest anti-infectious essential oils has been very successful. Oils recommended by the French aromatherapy literature for small children: Hyssop decumbens."

Kurt Schnaubelt wrote in Medical Aromatherapy: Healing with Essential Oils:

"Sympathotonic. Useful for nervous depression, all upper-respiratory conditions, and asthma-related lung inflammation. Facilitates metabolic and liver secretions. Because of its mildness and strong antiviral properties, it is an excellent means for genital hygiene and prevention of STDs. After carefully establishing individual tolerance, the oil can usually be applied to healthy genital mucous membranes either undiluted or in a dilution of sesame oil. Preferred mode of use: Internal, topical, suppository."

Application Suggestions (See Essential Oil Usage for more information and a Dilution Chart.)
Topical: Dilute with a carrier oil, unscented lotion or unscented cream and apply on area of concern or as desired. Consider using a roll-on applicator for ease of application of prediluted oil.

Since Hyssop var decumbens does not have a limiting dilution parameter, we suggest that adults follow the General Guidelines found on the Dilution Chart, which is:

2-3% for daily application

Up to 25% for short-term use

Children: For infants and children, please follow the Dilution Chart on the Babies and Children page.

Inhalation: Diffuse or use a personal Nasal Inhaler
Hyssop var. decumbens may excel all others to loosen up a tight chest, especially when inhaled. It has a slightly sweet, medicinal aroma and is highly expectorant. Some aromatherapists have noted it can relieve bronchial spasms and asthma.

Internal: Hyssop var decumbens is suitable for internal use within safe parameters if such use is deemed appropriate. We feel that internal use is rarely *needed* and should only be used with respect for how concentrated the oils are. HEO does not advocate internal use of essential oils without appropriate knowledge and understanding of how to administer, for what purpose, how much, which essential oils, safety concerns and so on. In our experience, essential oils are generally more effective used topically with proper dilution or inhaled. Kurt Schnaubelt Ph.D. notes that "French aromatherapy literature contains many references to using oils orally." He goes on to note that "generally 1 drop is always enough when ingesting essential oils." A potential toxicity hazard could occur when untrained people use essential oils orally and ingest too much. Keep in mind that while medical doctors or health care practitioners may prescribe essential oils for internal use, they are trained and experienced in the safe application of essential oils. It is not a matter of using "French" or "British" methods, it's a matter of experience and appropriate application. Can safely be dabbed on mouth sores and fever blisters (Schnaubelt).

Suppository Use:
In The Healing Intelligence of Essential Oils, Kurt Schnaubelt discusses using Hyssop var decumbens in a suppository:
"For Children: The treatment of persistent bronchitis conditions for small children (one year and older) with suppositories with the mildest anti-infectious essential oils has been very successful. Ten drops only are used to make 10 suppositories. Oils recommended by the French aromatherapy literature for small children: Hyssop decumbens and Thymus vulgaris geraniol."

Suppositories Made Easy: "The need to use suppositories generally arises unforeseen in the form of a seriously acute condition. Hence it is helpful to know how they can be made without a lot of prep work. The crucial ingredient is cocoa butter. When purchasing cocoa butter it is important to find a product that in fact is only cocoa butter and does not have mineral oil, petrolatum, or paraffin added. The standard recipe for homemade suppositories is intended to yield approximately ten suppositories. This requires 20 grams (two-thirds of an ounce) of cocoa butter and 10 ml (one-third of an ounce) of a base oil, ideally sesame oil. The measuring of these quantities can be done rather roughly. The idea is to create a mass that can be melted into a homogeneous liquid state into which the essential oils can be dissolved. Once the essential oils are dissolved the mass should easily return to the solid state once put in the freezer. The 20-gram quantity of cocoa butter often can be eyeballed as a fraction of the original container size in which the cocoa butter was sold. Cocoa butter is often retailed in 50-gram containers; half of the contents would therefore be approximately 25 grams, which would be close enough. Ten ml of base oil can be measured, or approximated, by filling an empty 15 ml essential oil bottle approximately two-thirds full; again the rough approximation will do."

Simplified Version:

30mL carrier + 10 drops Hyssop var decumbens. Fill empty capsule with this blend, coat well with carrier oil and insert into rectum.

1. My health care practitioner recommened that I use Hyssop once a day to avoid fungal die off symptoms and to diffuse throughout the day. I absolutely love it! It is clearing my rosacea and eye bags that are triggered by fungus that I have had for 10+ years. I'm also using it for fungus in my large and small intestines and have noticed my swollen belly start to flatten. It is also helping to release some deep emotional trauma from my childhood, as well as to clear brain fog. I have loved reading the Biblical references to Hyssop and its symbolic cleansing references. I put one drop on my right ear (for hereditary issues), one or two drops in His Garments Spray on my face, one or two drops in coconut oil over my whole stomach, and then one drop in coconut oil for the bottom of each foot. - Mary

2. Our daughter was born 3 months early and had very weak lungs. She came home from the hospital at 4 months old and had BPD (Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia) and Reactive Airway Disease, which affected her sinuses (from the irritation of oxygen being used for a prolonged time). Every time the weather changed, her respiratory system became congestion. Hyssop var. decumbens diluted and applied to the chest and back, has helped move the mucous out of the lungs and the sinuses. We also used Respiratory Relief, Lung Support and Eucalyptus radiata. I diluted each and applied them on the back of her neck, spine and tips of her toes (for sinus reflex). I also diffused Respiratory Relief. Improvement is rapid when we use these wonderful oils.

Safety
Hyssop var. decumbens is considered non-toxic, non-irritating and non-sensitizing.

Seizures: Hyssop is sometimes mentioned to be contraindicated for epilepsy. The convulsant action of hyssop oil is assumed to be due to its content of pinocamphone (31.2–42.7%) and isopinocamphone (30.9–39.2%). Tests on rats involved injecting large amounts to produce seizures. There are "three reported cases of low-dose hyssop oil ingestion by humans resulting in convulsions." In each case, the person swallowed 10 drops - 1mL of the oil. (Tisserand/Young) Hyssop var decumbens does NOT have a significant amount of pinocamphone or thujone.

Avoid contact with the eyes and other sensitive areas. Essential oils are both lipophilic and hydrophobic. Lipophilic means they are attracted to fat— like the membranes of your eyes and skin. They are also hydrophobic, meaning they do not like water. Applying a carrier oil will create another fat for the essential oil to be attracted to other than the membranes of the eyes or skin. Tisserand suggests: "With essential oils, fatty oil has been suggested as an appropriate first aid treatment, though the advantage of saline [eyewash] is that the eyes can be continually flushed, and this is less easy with fatty oil.” We are not aware of a case where essential oil in the eyes caused permanent injury or long-term discomfort, but if you feel concerned, please call your health care provider.
