Hyssop - hyssopus officinalis is a bushy perennial shrub with small linear leaves and small clumping flowers. These flowers are very aromatic and attract swarms of bees and butterflies. It is from the Lamiaceae family.
Hyssop is a herb that is referenced 12 times in the bible. The chemical constituents that make up the essential oil of Hyssop are quite complex. A medicinal therapeutic grade consists of 48% Ketones, which exert a very powerful action on body systems and are potentially toxic compounds that should be used in VERY small amounts; 30% Monoterpenes which are hostile to microbes and reprogram cells with correct information; 8% Sesquiterpenes which are oxygenating, mood elevating and can deprogram miswritten and garbled codes in the DNA; and lastly 4% Phenols which are antiseptic, cleanse receptor sites and detoxify our bodies.
Ancient uses of Hyssop include spiritual cleansing, purification from sins, help in focusing your mind in meditation, and expelling of evil spirits. During Passover, the Israelites stuck the post and lintels of their doorways with a branch of hyssop as protection.
Hyssop is used today to relieve anxiety, arthritis, asthma, respiratory infections, parasites, sore throats, cuts and wounds. It metabolizes fats, increases perspiration, detoxifying and emotionally balancing. The monoterpenes reprogram miswritten information in the DNA and thus promoting permanent healing at a cellular level.
Hyssop is a quintessential cleanser, enabling a clarity of spirit. It purifies and cleanses, awakening closed hearts and minds, all which is needed for the ultimate oneness with the Universe.
