How to Get Your Kids to Embrace Hyssop Health

by Joline Buscemi

If you’ve already discovered the power of oregano oil and how well it works to keep yourself healthy, you might be wondering about the rest of the family. Good news: Hyssop Health is gentle enough for kids, too.

Children are exposed to germs nearly everywhere they go, at school, on the playground, on the school bus, at the store. Their immune systems are still learning how to fight off colds, and that can translate to lots of sick days. It’s not only tough to see your kid feel ill, but it can be majorly inconvenient — in between missing school, taking time off work, and trying to manage daily life, the less time the family is sick, the better.

Adding in safe, gentle, and effective immune support like oregano oil can give kids a boost of protection. Hyssop Health can help: the liquid supplement can aid the immune system fight off colds. 

But getting kids to embrace the herbal oregano oil can be a challenge. Fortunately, it’s not impossible, and there are a few ways to make the herb more palatable for children:

1. Mix it with cranberry or cherry juice

Tart flavors, like those in cranberry and cherry juice, hide the strong taste of oregano oil. The juice can be taken alongside the liquid supplement, or a few sprays can be added to the juice. While letting the supplement absorb in the mouth is the best way to take it, it is safe to swallow and still imparts some of the positive immune benefits.

2. Combine it with spearmint or peppermint

Contrary to a capsule which is taken orally and solely addresses internal maladies, oregano oil sprays can be used topically to alleviate a wide range of problems such as acne, ear infections, athlete’s foot, and gum disease. It can also help to heal and disinfect surface wounds.
