Hyssop

3.009.00

Hyssop is used for digestive and intestinal problems including liver and gallbladder conditions, intestinal pain, intestinal gas, colic, and loss of appetite. It is also used for respiratory problems including coughs, the common cold, respiratory infections, sore throat, and asthma.

Hyssop (Hyssopus officinalis) is a plant that’s been used medicinally for centuries, possibly even as far back as Biblical times (it’s mentioned in the Old Testament). The above-ground parts of the plant are what are used for medicine, not the roots.

Traditionally, it’s been used for a wide variety of ailments, but so far, we don’t have enough evidence to prove that it’s safe and effective for any of them.

Traditional uses of hyssop include treatment for:

Digestive aid
Liver problems
Gallbladder disease
Gas
Intestinal pain
Colic
Coughs
Colds
Sore throat
Asthma
Urinary tract infections
Poor circulation
Menstrual cramps
Topically for burns, bruises, and frostbite

Blood Sugar Control
Hyssop tea might offer blood sugar-lowering benefits, according to a test tube study published in the January 2004 issue of the journal “Phytochemistry.” Researchers identified antioxidant compounds hyssop leaves that inhibit activity of the enzyme alpha-glucosidase, which breaks starch into sugar. A laboratory animal study published in the October 2003 issue of the “Journal of Nutrition Science and Vitaminology” found that hyssop extract administered before a high-carbohydrate meal prevented a spike in blood sugar by inhibiting carbohydrate digestion. Researchers concluded that hyssop may be useful as a supplement for managing elevated blood sugar levels.

Blood Cell Benefits
Hyssop tea might help prevent destruction of red blood cells, according to a test tube study published in the July 2012 issue of the journal “Acta Poloniae Pharmaceutica.” In the study, hyssop leaves exhibited better ability than stems or flowers to protect red blood cells from oxidative damage. A comparison study of antioxidants in four different medicinal herbs showed hyssop to be the strongest in one category of antioxidant activity and the second strongest in another category. Other herbs in the study included colchicum, English violet and boxwood.
