Hippocrates prescribed hyssop to treat pleurisy in the fourth century AD and Hildegard of Bingen, the twelfth century German abbess and herbalist, maintained that hyssop cleanses the lungs.Culpeper and Grieve both mention its usefulness as an expectorant for tough phlegm. Hyssop possesses a highly aromatic odour and its essential oil is much appreciated by perfumers.
