Hyssop is native to the Mediterranean region and is a perennial plant that is considered holy. In ancient times this herb was used for the treatment of plague, as a disinfectant and for treatment of minor infections. In some parts of the world, it had a spiritual function, and was believed to purify and “forgive sins.”

The plant grows up to 60 centimeters or 2 feet high, and has a “hairy” stem with small pointy leaves and blue, purple, or white flowers. Today, hyssop is cultivated for its essential oils in various parts of France. It is deemed one of the strongest antiviral essential oils out there because it contains nearly every type of chemical compound found in essential oils. However, the oil is still mild and gentle.

Hysoop oil consists of monoterpenes (cis-pinochamphone, trans-pinocamphone, and beta-pinene), and sequiterpenes (germacrene and elemol) as key constituents.
