The Decumbens variety of Hyssop is a powerful antiviral agent – effective for cold sores and most respiratory conditions – yet it is one of the mildest, best tolerated essential oils in aromatherapy. In fact, one of the most important features of this specific oil is its complete lack of toxicity and the absence of any irritant qualities.
