Hyssopus
officinalis L is
a perennial plant, native to the Mediterranean region and was considered a holy
plant in biblical times. During the time of the Romans, this herb was used
against the plague, as a disinfectant and for treatment of minor infections.
The plant grows up to 2 feet high and has a “hairy” stem with small pointy
leaves and blue, purple or white flowers.
The
mild and gentle Hyssop essential oil is extracted by steam distilling the
aerial parts of Hyssopus
officinalis L.
flowers look similar to lavender and are staple folk medicine in Spain.
Once the stalks are cut, they are collected and dried either stacked on pallets to allow for draining or hung to dry. The actual drying process takes place in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area, where the materials are mixed several times to ensure even drying. Drying herbs are kept from exposure to the sun to prevent discoloration and oxidation. The drying process takes approximately six days in its entirety. Once dried, the leaves are removed and both components, leaves and flowers, are chopped finely. The final dried product weighs a third of the initial fresh weight and can be stored up to 18 months.

TOXICOLOGICAL
INFORMATION
Safety Summary
·
Hazardous: Not known
·
Contraindications: not known
According to IFRA, essential oils
rich in linalool should only be used when the level of peroxides is kept to the
lowest practical value. The addition of antioxidants such as 0.1% BHT or
a-tocopherol at the time of production is recommended.
Organ-specific effects
·
Adverse skin reactions: No information
found. Oxidation products of linalool may be skin sensitizing, but 1,8- cineole
has antioxidant properties.
Systemic effects
·
Acute toxicity: No information found.
Neither linalool nor 1,8-cineole is toxic.
·
Carcinogenic/anticarcinogenic potential: No
information found. Neither linalool nor 1,8-cineoleis carcinogenic; (þ)-
limonene is antitumoral.
The very low content of Pino camphones means that this
chemotype of hyssop oil will not possess the kind of GABA receptor inhibitory
neurotoxicity normally associated with hyssop oils especially since linalool,
a-pinene and b-pinene potentiate GABA receptor mediated responses so would
counter pina camphone toxicity.
