Hyssop KOS coughs and colds!

- —Shannon Hunt

Considered a sacred oil in ancient Egypt, Israel and Greece, hyssop oil is brimming with purifying compounds that wipe out the cold virus and other germs fast. And if you do start sniffling? The oil’s expectoran­t and astringent properties help clear congestion and shrink swollen mucous membranes so you feel better faster! Foggy? This oil’s invigorati­ng scent switches brain wave activity from “daydreamy” theta waves to alertness-revving “beta waves,” MRI studies show. Thanks goes to its high concentrat­ion of sesquiterp­enes, scent compounds shown to up the brain’s oxygen capacity as much as 28%!
