Mystique Hyssop powder 50 g

Hyssop is an expectorant and antispasmodic herb, helping to suppress coughs and help clear the lungs of phlegm. Its expectorant qualities come from the active ingredient marubiin – which has been established to loosen phlegm, making it easier to cough up.

Digestive Health

Hyssop is known to stimulate digestion by increasing the production of digestive enzymes, stomach acid and bile. A healthy digestive system is the key to optimum health. It is here that nutrients are assimilated or discarded, and the food that we eat converted into that all important energy to fuel the body through life.

By stimulating the production of the key compounds needed for healthy digestion, Hyssop also boosts nutrition uptake.

The antispasmodic properties of Hyssop are also effective at relieving digestive cramps and flatulence.

Anti-Parasitic

Classed as a “vermifuge”, Hyssop fights parasites such as tapeworms, hookworms, fleas and flukes. Cleansing parasites from the body is important as they feed off the host, disrupting nutrient absorption and can weaken the immune system.

Hyssop is often one of the key ingredients in a parasite cleanse and blends well with other anti-parasitic herbs.

Blood Sugar

Hyssop tea might offer blood sugar-lowering benefits. Researchers identified antioxidant compounds Hyssop leaves that inhibit activity of the enzyme alpha-glucosidase, which breaks starch into sugar.
