Does anyone have experiences from using Hyssop? I have 2 lbs of it, and plan on using it in a topical oil, bathing, and drinking as a tea. I would really enjoy some replies on this! I know it is in scripture, used as a healing and purification.
 
A quick google search lead me to this site; now I'm intrigued and may have to start exploring hyssop--perhaps in my homemade marshmallows...

The only problem is I'm not sure where you'd find rose jam...

Interesting..Yesterday, I tried Hyssop and it does have healing properties. I am told to drink a cup of tea with it 3 times a day, but no longer than 2 weeks, than give it a rest for 2 weeks. I also made an Topical oil with it, with also Rosemary. Plus i bathed in it last night. I have Rheumatoid Arthritis, and it has helped greatly in my pain, and stiffness. My joints are not even popping, and cracking as bad. I massaged my husband with the oil last night too, who has cerebral palsy from birth, and he has felt less pain..Love our heavenly Fathers blessed healing plants!
