This is Starwest's nitrogen-flushed double wall silverfoil pack.

Used as an infusion, decoction, extract and tincture.

Hyssop's volatile oils have an anti-spasmodic and carminative action. This makes it useful for hacking coughs, other upper respiratory problems, and digestive discomfort. Hyssop is also a useful calmative for the overanxious.

As Grieve points out, Hyssop can relieve the lungs of mucous and bacteria that block bronchial tubes.

Grieve's classic 'A Modern Herbal': 'It admirably promotes expectoration, and in chronic catarrh its diaphoretic and stimulant properties combine to render it of especial value.'

'It is usually given as a warm infusion, taken frequently and mixed with Horehound. Hyssop Tea is also a grateful drink, well adapted to improve the tone of a feeble stomach, being brewed with the green tops of the herb, which are sometimes boiled in soup to be given for asthma.'

King's 1898 Dispensatory: 'Stimulant, aromatic, carminative and tonic. Principally used in quinsy and other sore throats, as a gargle, combined with sage and alum, in infusion sweetened with honey. Also recommended in asthma, coughs, and other affections of the chest, as an expectorant.'

'The leaves, applied to bruises, speedily relieve the pain, and disperse every spot or mark from the parts affected. The infusion may be given freely; the volatile oil, in doses of 1 or 2 drops.'
