Hyssop tincture (Hyssopus officinalis) is a concentrated herbal extract primarily used to support respiratory health, alleviate congestion, and soothe sore throats. It acts as an expectorant to clear mucus, possesses antiviral properties (particularly against herpes simplex), and helps with digestive issues. It is commonly used for colds and asthma.

Immune System and Antioxidants: The high polyphenol content offers antioxidant protection, while its antiviral nature supports immune function.
