In Biblical times it was used for purification and to drive evil spirits away. Psalm 51:7 – Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean. It is used to relieve anxiety, fungal infections, wound healing and as an aid in difficult breathing.

The fragrance of the hyssop mixed with the lamb’s blood when the doorposts were painted the evening before the exodus. This speaks of obedience, protection and deliverance. Jesus (lamb), while on the cross (doorpost) and bleeding, was given vinegar/sour wine (blood) on a reed of hyssop. Jesus was obedient to God and so provided protection and deliverance.

Hyssop speaks of total obedience and also sacrifice as well as purification. Numbers19:8 – The priest is to take some cedar wood, hyssop and scarlet wool and throw them onto the burning heifer.
