Digestive Benefits
The soothing nature of this extract, as well as the many antioxidants it contains, can help to eliminate discomfort in the gut, as well as clear up any infections that may be affecting your digestion. It is also known to balance the acidity levels, which can prevent symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease.
Blood Pressure

Immune System

By decreasing inflammation and allowing blood to run through our organs, hyssop oil maintains the function of the entire body.
Diabetes
One of the active ingredients in hyssop is able to prevent or slow down the production of a key enzyme that converts starch into sugar, thus helping to control blood sugar levels in the body.
HIV/AIDS
Early research and anecdotal evidence point to this tea’s efficacy in mitigating the symptoms of HIV/AIDS.
Fights parasites and infections
Hyssop has the ability to fight parasites, like tapeworm, fleas, hookworms and flukes. Because it’s a vermifuge, hyssop expels parasitic works, especially in the intestines.
Therefore, hyssop can be a key part of a parasite cleanse, as hyssop helps many systems in the body and ensures that your needed nutrients aren’t taken by these dangerous organisms.
Hyssop prevents infections from developing in wounds and cuts. Because of its antiseptic properties, when it’s applied to an opening of the skin, it fights infection and kills bacteria. Hyssop also helps in healing deep cuts, scars, insect bites and even can be one of the great home remedies for acne.
Increases Circulation
An increase in blood flow or circulation in the body benefits the heart and the body’s muscles and arteries. Hyssop improves and promotes circulation because of its anti-rheumatic properties. By increasing circulation, hyssop can work as a natural remedy for gout, osteoarthritis, rheumatism, arthritis and swelling. Your heart rate lowers when your blood circulates properly, and then your heart muscles relax and your blood pressure flows evenly throughout the body, affecting every organ.
Because of its ability to improve circulation, hyssop is also a home remedy and treatment for hemorrhoids, which are experienced by 75 percent of Americans at some point in their lives.
