Topical uses
Dilute hyssop oil with a carrier oil, such coconut or olive oil. Then patch test a small area of your skin and wait for 24 hours to see if your skin has a reaction to the oil. If there is no reaction, hyssop may be applied topically a few times per day until you see improvements.
Hyssop bath and hyssop soap
Hyssop has wide commercial uses, including perfumes and soaps. You can also use hyssop diluted essential oil in running bath water to treat inflammation and enjoy aromatherapy. Avoid slipping in the tub by carefully getting in and out of the bath.
Compresses
Compresses made with hyssop essential oil can be used for minor skin irritation, bug bites, and muscle or joint pain. To make a compress, simply warm up a wet washcloth and apply a few drops of the diluted essential oil before application.
Diffuser or inhalation
When using for hyssop oil for aromatherapy, a diffuser can help keep the scent going all day. This small machine uses water and several drops of essential oils to diffuse an aromatic steam into the air.
You can also reap the benefits essential oils by inhaling hyssop oil directly out of the bottle — this may be helpful for asthma and other respiratory symptoms.
Consider pregnant and breastfeeding women, children, and pets before you diffuse essential oils. Some can be toxic. *
