Hyssop


Though not widely used by the herbalist community, hyssop's antispasmodic action makes it an excellent herb to treat asthma, cough and bronchitis. It can be used as a gargle for sore throat, or in a bath for rheumatism or made into a salve for a chest rub to relieve congestion.

It can be blended with herbs more commonly used to treat colds, such as echinacea, elder flowers, mullein or yarrow to make these herbs more effective.
