HYSSOPUS OFFICINALIS VAR. DECUMBENS (HYSOPE RECUMBENT) – CURE ASTHMA WITHOUT DISASTER!

Author: Maurice Nicole, nes

This plant originates from the Mediterranean basin and South Asia. It has been used for a very long time as an seasoning in the kitchen. It’s very mellifer. It was used to purify the temples and the baths of lepers. Introduced into the gardens of the Benedictine monks, it becomes one of the most important among the 130 plants that perfume the famous Chartreuse liqueur, and is also part of the composition of the Benedict. Hysope essential oil is appearing as early as 1574.

But be careful, the Hyssope lying with the hysope “ordinary”, known as the officinalis, which is rich in neurotoxic and abortive pinocamphone, should not be confused to be used with great caution.

The essential oil of the lying hyssop (hysopus officinalis var. decumbens, also known as the simplified Hyssopus decumbens), on the contrary, is a complex devoid of toxicity. It contains mostly linalool (43%), a little 1.8 cineole (14%), with some traces of lactones. This unique composition confers major antiviral properties (thanks to the synergy linalool + cineole), expectorant and mucolytic. Linalol, with its anti-inflammatory and antispasmodic properties, temporizes the potentially drying effect of the cineole at the bronchi level, making it a major essential oil for respiratory ailments, including asthma, for which it constitutes a treatment of choice.

At the psycho-olfactory level, it is neurotonic and elevates the spirit. Its aroma is remarkable, without asperity, soft and airy. Its lightness, evocative of recklessness, allows to reduce excessive emotion to more measure.
