Hyssop tea and infusions of hyssop are used in chest colds and coughs,
also for hoarseness, sore throats and fever.  A common infusion is to
simmer 2 ounces of hyssop in a quart of water for 15 minutes.  Strain,
and mix with honey to taste.  Hyssop is very good as an decongestant.
It is used externally as a component in bruise ointments and is supposed
to help heal cuts quickly.  It has a bitter, mint-like taste and can be
used in salads, soups and stews.  Hyssop supposedly can be planted near
grapes to increase the yield.
