Hyssop (Hyssopus officinalis) Respiratory Health+Anti-viral

Ingredients: Dried Hyssop and Liquor

 

Dosage recommendations: The typical adult dosage for hyssop tincture is generally suggested to be 1-2 dropperfuls as needed. This can be taken directly or mixed with water or juice for easier consumption.

 

Frequency of use: A common approach in herbal medicine is to begin with 1-2 mL of tincture taken 1-3 times daily. This can be adjusted based on individual response and any potential side effects experienced.

 

This herbal extract is in liquid form. 

 

Store in a cool dry place.

 

Tincture drops can be placed under the tongue, or in your favorite beverage. When placing the drops directly under your tongue, it goes straight into your blood stream. Placing drops in your beverage will take a little longer for the tincture to take affect, as it is relying on your digestive system. 

 

Do not let the dropper touch the inside of your mouth. In doing so, bacteria will enter the bottle decreasing the shelf life. Tinctures typically last 5-10 years based on how it is cared for and stored. 

 

Hyssop is mentioned multiple times throughout the Bible, primarily in the context of purification and cleansing rituals. Below are key scriptures that reference hyssop, along with their significance:

 

1. Exodus 12:22
“Take a bunch of hyssop, dip it into the blood in the basin and put some of the blood on the top and on both sides of the doorframe. None of you shall go out of the door of your house until morning.”
This verse describes how the Israelites were instructed to use hyssop to apply lamb’s blood to their doorposts during Passover. This act was crucial for their protection from the final plague in Egypt, symbolizing God’s deliverance.

 

2. Leviticus 14:4
“…the priest shall order that two live clean birds and some cedar wood, scarlet yarn and hyssop be brought for the person to be cleansed.”
In this passage, hyssop is part of a ceremonial cleansing process for someone healed from a skin disease (likely leprosy). It highlights its role in ritual purification.

 

3. Leviticus 14:52
“He shall purify the house with the bird’s blood, the fresh water, the live bird, the cedar wood, the hyssop and the scarlet yarn.”
Here again, hyssop is used in a purification rite for a house that has been contaminated by mold or other impurities.

 

4. Numbers 19:6
“…the priest is to take some of its blood on his finger and sprinkle it seven times toward the front of the tent of meeting.”
While this verse does not mention hyssop directly in this specific instance, it relates to similar purification practices where hyssop would have been utilized.

 

5. Psalm 51:7
“Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.”
In this penitential psalm by David, he uses hyssop metaphorically to express his desire for spiritual cleansing from sin.

 

6. John 19:28-30
“Later, knowing that everything had now been finished, and so that Scripture would be fulfilled, Jesus said, ‘I am thirsty.’ A jar of wine vinegar was there, so they soaked a sponge in it, put the sponge on a stalk of hyssop and lifted it to Jesus’ lips.”

This New Testament reference connects hyssop with Jesus’ crucifixion. The use of a hyssop stalk emphasizes themes of sacrifice and purification through Christ’s death.

Who Should Not Use Hyssop Tincture

Hyssop tincture, derived from the herb Hyssopus officinalis, may not be suitable for everyone. Here are specific groups of individuals who should avoid using hyssop tincture:

• Pregnant and Lactating Women: It is advised that pregnant and breastfeeding women avoid hyssop due to documented adverse effects. The safety of hyssop during pregnancy has not been established, and its use could pose risks to both the mother and the developing fetus.

• Individuals with Seizure Disorders: There have been case reports indicating that excessive consumption of hyssop can lead to seizures. Therefore, individuals with a history of seizures or epilepsy should refrain from using hyssop tincture to avoid potential exacerbation of their condition.

• People with Allergies to Lamiaceae Family Plants: Since hyssop belongs to the Lamiaceae family (which includes mint, basil, and sage), those who have known allergies to these plants may also react adversely to hyssop tincture.

• Individuals on Certain Medications: While specific drug interactions are not well-documented, it is always prudent for individuals taking medications—especially those affecting the central nervous system or anticoagulants—to consult a healthcare provider before using herbal supplements like hyssop.

• Children: Due to the lack of sufficient safety data regarding its use in children, it is generally recommended that children do not use hyssop tincture unless under medical supervision.

• Individuals with Pre-existing Health Conditions: Those with health conditions such as liver disease or gastrointestinal disorders should exercise caution and consult a healthcare professional before using hyssop tincture.

In summary, pregnant women, breastfeeding mothers, individuals with seizure disorders, those allergic to Lamiaceae plants, children, and people with certain health conditions should avoid using hyssop tincture without consulting a healthcare professional first.
