Hyssop (Hyssopus officinalis) as a tool for helping with Respiratory support
Evidence
2 sources supporting Hyssop for Respiratory support. Includes scientific publications, books, monographs and traditional-use references.
Mechanistic basis
This use is associated with the plant's expectorant action. Further evidence for that pharmacology:
The impact of Hyssop (Hyssopus officinalis) extract on activation of endosomal toll like receptors and their downstream signaling pathways
View source Hyssopus officinalis extract modulated activation of endosomal toll-like receptors and their downstream signalling, providing a mechanistic basis for the antiviral and anti-inflammatory use of hyssop in respiratory disease.
Effect of Hyssopus officinalis L. on inhibiting airway inflammation and immune regulation in a chronic asthmatic mouse model
View source Hyssopus officinalis inhibited airway inflammation and modulated immune cytokines (IL-4, IL-6, IL-17, IFN-gamma) in a chronic asthmatic mouse model, supporting the traditional expectorant and anti-inflammatory use of hyssop for respiratory disease.
