Hyssop essential oil is extracted with the help of steam distillation from the leaves and flowers of a shrub called Hyssop. The health benefits of this essential oil can be attributed to its properties as an astringent, stimulant, antispasmodic, antirheumatic, antiseptic, carminative, cicatrizant, digestive, diuretic, emmenagogue, expectorant, hypertensive, nervine, sudorific, tonic, febrifuge, vermifuge and vulnerary substance.

Being an antispasmodic, hyssop essential oil relieves spasms of the respiratory system, thereby curing spasmodic cough. It also cures spasms of the nervous system to cure convulsions and related problems, as well as reduces muscle spasms, which cure cramps and spasms of the intestines, relieving acute abdominal pain.

Since hyssop oil improves and promotes circulation, it helps cure diseases associated with poor circulation, such as rheumatism, arthritis, gout and swelling.

This oil aids digestion. Being a stimulant, it stimulates the secretion of gastric juices such as acids, enzymes and bile into the stomach, which accelerates the breakdown of complex proteins, carbohydrates and other nutrients.
