According to my herb book, you can use the tops (flowers and leaves) in hot water to make hyssop tea which aids digestion, eases asthma and rheumatics. Sprains and rheumatic joints can also be helped by putting leaves in muslin bags, immersing in hot water and applying to the affected area. Juice from the stems can also by rubbed on cuts and sores for quick healing,
It also suggests a handful of leaves in a warm bath will help stiffnes brought on by too much gardening so perhaps we all ought to grow it!
