Overview

Hyssop Decumbens Essential Oil

Our Hyssop Decumbens has an aroma that is powerful, fresh, cool woody, lavender- and eucalyptus-like and moderately sharp with a spicy, warm undertone. Hyssop is known for its many traditional uses going back at least 2000 years; Dioscorides, Galen and Hippocrates all praised its cleansing and clarifying effects.1

Hyssop is a perennial herbaceous plant of the Labiatae family native to Southern Europe, the Middle East, and the region surrounding the Caspian Sea. Hyssop and her sister plants – Lavender, Rosemary, Savory and Thyme – thrive on the poor, rocky soil and full sun so plentiful in this region.

Hyssopus officinalis var. decumbens essential oil is an aromatherapy specialty oil. It contains a large percentage of the very mild linalool (with an aroma similar to that of Rosewood or Coriander seed) plus linalool oxides. It is important to note that the more readily available common Hyssop (Hyssop officinalis L.) essential oil may contain up to 80% of the ketone pinocamphone.2,3 This ketone is problematic for its reported toxicity (among other safety issues),4 therefore common Hyssop should not be used as a substitute for the more rare but ketone-free Hyssop Decumbens.

The comforting and clarifying aroma of Hyssop Decumbens is suitable for use in the bath, diffusers, massage blends, cleansers, chest rubs and skincare preparations. In natural perfumery, it lends rich body and a warm, spicy, herbaceous note with personality.5

This is the one I need to help someone with COPD! it is important to have the var decumbens and not hyssop off, because that one is toxic. I learned this from Dr. Geert Verhelst.

This is the one I have been looking for. It's difficult to find a really high quality Hyssop Decumbens. I'm hoping that this is the one that is going to help with healing my skin and I'm sure I could go on and on. But the Decumbens from EB is what I have been looking for, and what I will mix into my treatments for MY personal skin problems. Maybe into others as well. But right now, it's all mine! Thank You for the wonderful oil/oils!
