In TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine), the Lungs (Yin) are paired with the Large Intestines (Yang) as the Metal Phase or Element Systems.

Hyssop effectively treats both respiratory and large intestine conditions. It soothes sore throats and treats colds and flu, allergies, bronchitis, chronic respiratory ailments, chronic coughing, wheezing, and shortness of breath, as well as easing asthma symptoms.

In the Large Intestines, it is a useful vermifuge helping to expel intestinal parasites such as tapeworms, roundworms, or flukes. It also helps ease intestinal cramping and discomfort.
