Hyssop can be used in oral hygiene products such as mouthwashes and gargles, due to the presence of tannins, which are antibacterial and anti-inflammatory. It can be used as a compress to help heal persistent infected sores.
This herb has astringent and antiperspirant properties, and can be used in homemade deodorants. To use hyssop, make an infusion - 20g hyssop to 1 litre of water for skin care products, 30g hyssop to 1 litre water for compresses and washes. Hyssop essential oil added to your products will enhance their effectiveness.
