Common Uses of Hyssop Essential Oil
Hyssop essential oil is derived from the flowering herb known as Hyssopus officinalis, which is native to areas such as the Mediterranean and Central Asia. This plant has been used since ancient times for its medicinal purposes, with people using it as an antiseptic and expectorant. Today, hyssop oil is mostly used in aromatherapy due to its sweet scent. However, it can also be used topically on skin thanks to its many beneficial properties.
Skin
Hyssop essential oil is known for its anti-inflammatory properties, which make it great for soothing redness and irritation on skin. This can be especially helpful for those who suffer from conditions such as eczema or psoriasis. In addition, hyssop oil's antibacterial properties make it a great choice for fighting acne breakouts and preventing further blemishes from forming. Lastly, hyssop essential oil also helps keep skin hydrated by locking in moisture and keeping skin soft and supple.
Mind
The best way to incorporate hyssop essential oil into your hair care routine is by using it as a leave-in treatment or shampoo additive. You can also add a few drops to our shampoo and conditioner bases or mask for an extra boost of nourishment. In addition to using hyssop on its own, you can combine it with other beneficial oils such as jojoba or coconut oils. This combination will allow you to reap even more benefits from this incredible plant-based remedy!
Hyssop blends well with virtually all herb and citrus oils. It also goes well with Lavender, Myrtle, Bay Leaf and Geranium.
