Whilst it is little more than just a plant, growing from the ground, hyssop is incredibly versatile and has a range of applications. The beauty of these diverse applications is in their simplicity. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

They are so simple in fact, that a lot of people don\u2019t even know about them. The majority of the uses are beneficial to a person’s health with benefits including the relief of organ conditions such as those affecting the gallbladder or the intestinal tract. These are some of the more deep down applications of hyssop, getting right inside the body, but a little more on the surface of things, at skin level, there are also some simple ways in which a person can use hyssop to their benefit. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This list looks at 8 of the most simple applications of hyssop and expands upon them in as much detail as is necessary to enable you to give them a try and to see what difference hyssop can make to you and your life.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

1.  Use It to Fight Parasites\u2026<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s face it there isn\u2019t a soul on earth who wants to spend their days knowing that they have parasites <\/a>crawling around inside their innards. It\u2019s incredibly gross to even think about it. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like it or not though, the vast majority of the population lives with parasites inside them all of the time, some much more harmful than others. By drinking hyssop as part of a tea, a person can expect to arm their immune system with everything it needs to kill parasites in their tracks and stop them from robbing the body of the vital nutrients and minerals that it simply can\u2019t afford to share with any unwanted visitors and freeloaders. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once hyssop is in the system, it gets to work rapidly in order to help the body perform its usual functions, but to a higher ability, taking into consideration the presence of those pesky parasites. Just get them out of there!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

2.  Use It to Fight Infection\u2026<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Hyssop has incredibly powerful antiseptic <\/a>properties, making it very useful when it comes to fighting off infection. One simple way of using it to fight infection is to apply is a topical ointment or cream, directly onto cuts and wounds. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When it is applied to these open abrasions, hyssop sets to work trying to ward off infection from the injured sites. There is always a tendency to try and get wounds as dry as possible in very early stages and to keep them as dry as possible, with the idea being that this is the best way to ward off infection. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is true to some extent, but the simple addition of hyssop into the care regimen of a wound or a cut can make all the difference, even if it means prolonging the dampness of the affected area. Simply apply the hyssop mixture liberally and then allow the drying and dressing to take place.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

3. Use It to Aid Digestion\u2026<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A further simple but effective way of using hyssop is found by applying it as an oil. The use of hyssop <\/a>as oil can increase the production of bile and stomach acids within the body. This accelerates and boosts the performance of the body when it comes to breaking down food as it makes its way through the digestive tract and into the stomach. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The simple use of hyssop as oil can be incredibly effective when it comes to aiding digestion, as it boosts the number and effectiveness of the digestive enzymes, simply by being present in the system. The obvious benefit of proteins and carbohydrates being broken down more rapidly and more effectively is that a person will be able to gain more benefits from the food that they eat. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This incredibly simple use of hyssop, as an oil, is an indicator of how society is making a shift to using all kinds of oils, essential oils and otherwise, for a range of benefits.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

4. Use It to Improve Skin Health\u2026<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

When it is used as a topical treatment in the form of essential oil,<\/a> hyssop can be very effective at treating breakouts of acne that may occur on the face or on parts of the body, typically on the back, the shoulders and the buttocks. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For a person suffering from acne, no matter the stage of life they’re at, the effects that it has on the psychological and mental wellbeing of a person can be devastating. These effects are perhaps felt to the full force in teenagers and young adults, who feel exaggerated pressure to look good, all of the time. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hyssop oil can’t so much to change social expectations or unrealistic ambitions of airbrushed perfection, but it can certainly be used as a simple, but highly effective treatment of acne and other skin complaints. Many users of hyssop essential oil in the treatment of acne have reported experiencing very impressive and long-lasting results.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

5. Use It to Help Respiratory Conditions\u2026<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

As it is an antispasmodic, hyssop can be used very simplistically to treat a range of respiratory conditions from the mild to the severe. It is noted for its ability to soothe even the angriest of coughs and bring about general relief from the common cold or bouts of flu<\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As an expectant, hyssop will release those troublesome accumulations of phlegm from the respiratory tract, and although the production of a bucket load of phlegm may be pretty gross to witness, the old adage \u2018better out than in’ certainly rings true. The best way to use hyssop to aid respiratory conditions is to create a hot and steamy environment, whereby the main ingredient for hyssop is allowed to infuse with the steam and be ingested by all of those in near proximity. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For an exaggerated effect, a person may choose to cover themselves in a towel in order to get a more potent dose of hyssop infused steam.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

6. Use It to Aid Circulation…<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

As hyssop has powerful anti-rheumatic properties, one simple use for this versatile herb <\/a>can be to aid circulation and blood flow. Any increase in blood flow and circulation will have huge benefits for a person, and even greater benefits for some of the major organs of the cardiovascular system, such as the lungs and the heart. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A couple of drops of hyssop as an essential oil, or when taken as a supplement can go a surprisingly long way in terms of boosting circulation. The benefits of a high performing circulatory system may be hard to see on the surface, but anyone using hyssop for this purpose can rest assured that they are doing their body a huge favor, improving the effectiveness of toxin release and taking the strain off the heart and lungs. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fact that such fantastic results can be gained by taking such simple steps as including hyssop in your diet is quite incredible.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

7. Use It to Relieve Muscle Pain\u2026<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Hyssop helps to remove excess salt from the bloodstream<\/a>, which is a major cause of muscle pains and cramps. The most simple way to use hyssop to treat aching and sore muscles is to use it as a muscle rub. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many athletes, both amateur and professional swear by using hyssop both immediately after sport, as well as during the periods of time between competition or training. You\u2019d have to go a long way and speak to a lot of people before finding someone who isn\u2019t affected by muscle pain every now and then, and so this simplistic way of applying hyssop should be shared with everyone. Whether the muscle pain comes from overuse and injury, or underuse and a sedentary lifestyle, the use of hyssop as a muscle rub could provide pain relief to rival anything that you can buy over the counter. If you don\u2019t try it for yourself though, you\u2019ll never know!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

8. Use It to Support a Healthy Immune System\u2026<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The general addition or supplementation of hyssop into a person’s daily health care regimen can have so many benefits, particularly in the promotion of a healthy immune system<\/a>. The beauty of this little tweak to a person’s diet or healthcare plan is that it is incredibly simple. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Either by consuming hyssop in a brewed tea, or by consuming it as an essential oil, either directly into the mouth or via ingestion as steam, a person can give their immune system the kick up the backside that it needs. There is a growing trend of people moving away from over the counter and prescription medicines and drugs, and moving towards more natural and home remedies. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hyssop is one example of a naturally occurring, almost ready-made solution to helping boost health. The immune system benefits are so profound, that many HIV patients are actually starting to supplement their health and wellness routines with hyssop.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\r\n
