Hyssop has a long history going back thousands of years throughout Europe, the Middle East, and Egypt. Magically, this is used for purification and protection by making a besom (or broom) of the herb and sweeping away all negative energy. The plant can also be infused with water and sprinkled over sacred object, cleansing them for ritual use. You can also make hyssop oil that can be used externally on the body. Put a couple of drops of hyssop oil into the palm of your hands, rub them together, then from the feet on up rub this into your body while chanting the cleansing and protection spell you wish to invoke. Be sure to bind the spell by visualizing tying a knot.

If you have any doubt about using this herb then do not use it. Herbs and perscription/OTC drugs sometimes do not mix. As with all herbal remedies I would sugest checking with a medical professional before using then medicinally.
