Viruses that attack the respiratory system are particularly frightening, and can have long-term effects on health, particularly in young children. Syncytial virus is not typically life-threatening, but there is also no known “cure”, so alternative remedies are often sought. Hyssop is a natural expectorant, meaning that it stimulates the expulsion of phlegm and mucus. This not only helps to clear the passages and respiratory tracts for easier breathing, but also doesn’t provide a place for the virus to multiply and spread.
