THE SCIENCE BEHIND HYSSOP HEALTH

Modern delivery for a time-tested botanical.

At Hyssop Health, science isn’t about exaggeration or quick fixes. It’s about understanding how botanical compounds behave in the real world — and designing smarter ways to help them integrate into modern routines.

Oregano has been valued for generations, but how it’s delivered matters just as much as where it comes from. That’s why Hyssop Health pairs high-bioactive oregano (Origanum vulgare) with advanced nano-delivery technology, creating a formula designed for comfort, absorption, and consistency.

A Time-Tested Botanical, Reimagined

Oregano oil has a long history of use across Mediterranean herbal traditions. The plant’s naturally occurring compounds — including carvacrol and thymol — have been widely studied for how they interact with biological systems in laboratory settings.

While traditional use relied on crude oils or infusions, modern wellness requires a more thoughtful approach. Today, the challenge isn’t access to botanicals — it’s how to deliver them in a way the body can actually use, comfortably and consistently.

What is Hyssop Health?

A medicine cabinet in a bottle

As conventional drugs are becoming less effective against infection viruses and diseases like the flu and SARS, the future of medicine has looked toward ancient wisdom.

Documented in the Bible, the English word hyssop was translated from the Greek word essop, which is derived from the Hebrew word ezov, meaning wild oregano.

Excavation of ancient Greek and Roman ruins revealed wild oregano placed in the pharmacies — not in the kitchens. The powerful oil was used for healing and maintaining wellness. In the Middle Ages, English physicians used wild oregano for its antiseptic and anti-microbial powers.

Over 2000 years later, we are still benefiting from and learning from this incredible plant. That’s where Hyssop Health Therapy comes in.

Why Delivery Matters

Most oregano oil supplements are delivered in capsules or concentrated liquids. These formats depend heavily on digestion, where stomach acid and enzymes can alter or reduce the availability of sensitive botanical compounds before the body has a chance to integrate them.

Hyssop Health takes a different approach.

Instead of relying on digestion alone, we use nano-encapsulation, a process that transforms oregano oil into microscopic, highly uniform particles. This delivery method is designed to improve how the botanical is absorbed and experienced — without the harshness commonly associated with traditional oregano oil products.

Combining science with ancient wisdom

Why we created a liquid oral spray instead of capsules

Numerous studies published in The Journal of Clinical Pharmacology show that the bioavailability from a tablet is approximately 50% less than that from a liquid. In other words, the liquid solution was twice as bioavailable as the tablet.

We formulated Hyssop Health Therapy as an oral spray for the fastest, targeted, and most bioavailable approach to support the immune system and target maladies. Think of our immune system as our soldiers of defense, and Hyssop Health as state-of-the-art ammunition for our soldiers.

• No gastric upset
• Quick absorption
• Targets both the circulatory and lymphatic systems fast

How Nano-Delivery Works

Nano-delivery refers to the reduction of botanical compounds into extremely small, stable particles that disperse evenly and are easier to integrate into the body.

Hyssop Health’s nano-encapsulation process:

- Protects delicate botanical compounds
- Improves dispersion and absorption potential
- Enhances consistency from dose to dose
- Creates a gentler, more tolerable experience

When used sublingually (under the tongue or along the cheeks), this delivery method allows the formula to bypass much of the digestive process, offering a smoother alternative to capsules that many users find easier to incorporate into daily routines.

Quality, Sourcing, and Testing Standards

Science also means standards.

Our oregano is sourced with care and evaluated through rigorous quality protocols, including:

- Botanical identity verification
- Purity and potency profiling
- Heavy metal and contaminant screening
- Stability and consistency testing

All Hyssop Health products are formulated in cGMP-certified, FDA-registered facilities in the United States, ensuring consistent manufacturing practices and transparency at every stage.

A Balanced View of Botanical Science

Harvesting the power of the whole plant

Mediterranean oregano contains 49 plant-elements with medicine-like effects on nine areas of the body. The entourage effect of this whole plant is well researched and documented in the Phytochemical and Ethnobotanical databases. 

The wild grown oregano oil used in Hyssop Health Therapy is grown 12,000 feet above sea level and picked by hand on the mountain tops. These high mountain soils are rich with calcium and ultimately pure and free of contaminants from lower elevations.

Research into oregano and its naturally occurring compounds continues to evolve. While laboratory studies have explored how these compounds interact with microbes and inflammatory pathways, Hyssop Health avoids oversimplification or exaggerated claims.Instead, we focus on what we can design and control:

- How ingredients are sourced
- How they are delivered
- How comfortably they fit into everyday life

Science, in our view, is about integration — not intervention.

Testing every batch in a lab

Our product specifications require GC or gas chromatography testing. This measures how much of a specific plant element is present from each harvest. This testing ensures that the oil has not been adulterated at any processing step and provides the same benefits from each harvest. Our testing includes:
• Heavy Metal Analysis
• Potency Analysis
• Residual Solvent
• Physical/Chemical/Organoleptic Analysis
• Cross Contamination Control
• pH Testing

Delivering plant power directly into the bloodstream

Our patented Hyssop Health formula is delivered through an all-natural encapsulation technique that allows oregano oil to be both quickly absorbed and slowly released for optimal results.

In science terms, our oregano oil is encapsulated within tiny bubbles made from the purest soy lecithin containing high levels of phospholipids, and phosphorylcholine.
The bioavailability of the wild oregano oil is increased by an attraction to the phospholipids by our cell membranes. These bubbles have a strong synergistic effect and create an enhancement of the effects of the oil creating extraordinary results. The heavily vascularized mucosa within the mouth and throat enables fast absorption.

Yes, this is nanotechnology! Our ancestors never could have imagined this inventive way of using oregano oil.

Why our oregano oil is different

Harvesting the power of the whole plant

Mediterranean oregano contains 49 plant-elements with medicine-like effects on nine areas of the body. The entourage effect of this whole plant is well researched and documented in the Phytochemical and Ethnobotanical databases. These plant elements are proven to be antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal, antiparasitic, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant in function.

Going directly to the source

Hyssop Health Therapy doesn’t use the oregano you can buy at the grocery store. The wild grown oregano oil used in Hyssop Health Therapy is grown 12,000 feet above sea level and picked by hand on the mountain tops. These high mountain soils are rich with calcium and ultimately pure and free of contaminants from lower elevations.
• Wild-grown active ingredients
• Certificates of Analysis
• Allergen Review
• Botanical specifications required
• cGMP vendor qualification required

Innovation Backed by Patents

Hyssop Health’s delivery technology is protected by multiple patents that reflect our commitment to innovation in botanical formulation.

These patents safeguard our unique nano-delivery methods — not to make bigger promises, but to ensure that our approach to botanical science remains consistent, precise, and responsibly engineered.
