This hyssop incense is made from the dried parts of Hyssopus officinalis. Its clean, herbal-spicy smoke belongs to one of the oldest and most revered purifying herbs.
About hyssop
Hyssop is mentioned even in ancient texts; it was regarded as a symbol of innocence and praised as "a plant of the solar orbit." It gives an aromatic, slightly camphor-like smoke.
Tradition and atmosphere
Tradition holds that hyssop smoke brings order to chaotic thinking and creates a clearer, more collected atmosphere. Many light it to cleanse a space or for an intention-setting ritual.
How to use it
Place a pinch on glowing charcoal in a heatproof dish, or on a sieve burner. It blends well with other green or resinous herbs.
Responsible use
Hyssop is a potent herb: use it in moderation, in a well-ventilated space, and avoid it during pregnancy. As a natural product, colour and piece size vary.
