History/Folklore: The word "Hyssop" comes, almost, directly from the Greek word hyssopos, which meant "holy herb". It can be found referenced in the Christian Bible as an herb associated with purification. It can be found in Psalm 51:7 where it says "Purge me with hyssop, and I will be clean", referring to its purification actions.
