What Is Hyssop Extract Good For?

Soaps and Lotions

• Hyssop possesses a cooling, astringent feel when applied to the skin. This gives it soothing properties when used in soaps and lotions. When added to a bubble bath, hyssop is believed by herbal enthusiasts to make your muscles relax slightly and help you breathe better.

Tea

• Hyssop tea has a mint-like flavor and bouquet, making it a therapeutically uplifting tea. Benefits for drinking the strong tea, usually sweetened with honey, include relaxation, expelling of loose phlegm and regulation of blood pressure.

Other

• In addition to being used as a topical and internal stimulant, the perfume industry cultivates hyssop for its scent. It makes a delicately herbal addition to cologne fragrances both at home and commercially.
