Abstract:

Most essential-oil–containing plants of the Lamiaceae family are currently used as expectorants, anti-inflammatory agents, wound-healing remedies, sedatives, and for other purposes. In this regard, hyssop — a representative of this family — holds particular importance.


Studying the chemical composition of the aboveground part of the medicinal hyssop plant is considered relevant for its application in scientific medicine.


This article presents information related to the analysis of tannins in the aboveground part of Hyssopus officinalis L., a medicinal plant widely used in folk and scientific medicine.
