Healthcare and Pharmaceutical Awards 2023

94 GHP Healthcare & Pharma Awards 2023 Sometimes, powerful healing begins in unexpected places. In Hyssop Health’s case, a clinical discovery led to the development of a gentle remedy rooted in ancient wisdom. Here we learn more about how this natural wellness brand began in a pharmaceutical lab. Jul23631 Best Illness Prevention Product Brand 2023 - Florida Hyssop Health’s President and Founder, Deborah Duffey, is no stranger to transformation. Under her leadership, parent company Dermazone Solutions pioneered the use of nanotechnology in topical treatments. The patented approach involves encapsulating ingredients in nanospheres 100,000 times smaller than the width of a human hair. This microscopic size allows powerful ingredients to penetrate deeply into the skin and cross mucous membranes. When Duffey saw how effective this technology was at healing burn victims, she began looking into broader applications. After successfully launching an anti-aging skincare brand using this innovative technology, Duffey and her team returned to the concept of healing and wellness. A question continued to surface: What if we combined this highly technical method of encapsulation with a pure, natural ingredient? Inspiration came from a surprising source — the Bible. Ancient scripture speaks of the incredible healing power of a plant called hyssop. That plant, researchers now know, was actually Origanum vulgare, more commonly known as oregano. Feeling called to investigate this more closely, Duffey teamed with board certified infectious disease specialist, Christopher Brown, M.D., who conducted a series of laboratory tests. The results were nothing short of miraculous. Oregano-based compounds outperformed the best of traditional antibiotics and prescription antifungal medications, demonstrating the capacity of Origanum vulgare to destroy a variety of bacteria, fungi and viruses. With results like these, the team knew they had something special on their hands. But they had to get creative to translate these discoveries into a remedy gentle enough for everyone in the family to use. On its own, Origanum vulgare is a strong, potent oil that can cause a burning sensation on the skin and when inhaled. Dermazone’s patented nanotechnology encapsulation method provided a vital piece of the puzzle. By encapsulating molecules of oregano in lipids, the team created a naturally effective and gentle spray. Hyssop Health was born. Hyssop Health values truth. In a world where wellness claims are made with no research or safety behind them, it was critical to Duffey and the Hyssop Health team that this product does exactly what it says. That’s where describing benefits became complicated. As required by the law, Hyssop Health follows strict regulations around what kinds of claims can be made. However, to the team’s delight and surprise, people immediately began reaching out with incredible stories of healing all types of ailments from common colds to ear infections. “Our product continues to touch lives in ways we never could have imagined,” Duffey says. “We treasure every success story shared with us.” Due to its spiritual origins and drug-free formulation, Hyssop Health took off in the Christian community. Word of mouth helped families discover a natural spray that can support even young children through cold, flu and allergy season. “We receive the most beautiful messages of gratitude,” Duffey shares. “I can’t emphasize enough how important people of faith have been to the growth of our brand. We’re so honored to serve them with a product that aligns to their beliefs and lifestyle.” This year, Hyssop Health released its first new product in over a decade. Hyssop Health Sinus and Allergy Nasal Spray can be used daily, year round, with no side effects associated with over the counter and prescription nasal sprays. The product has proven to be especially popular with parents who struggled to get kids to use the original Hyssop Health throat spray — which has a distinct herbal taste. Reception has been overwhelmingly positive, with allergy sufferers sharing that it’s their favorite new preventative treatment for sinus congestion and hay fever. “Our goal is to empower families to use ancient remedies to help keep their families healthy,” Duffey says. “Parents are often encouraged to turn directly to pharmaceuticals when there are safe, natural solutions available. Hyssop Health can be used every day to boost wellness.” The Hyssop Health team is now hoping to reach more communities. “In this time in our world, everyone is looking for ways to take control of their own health,” says Duffey. “We believe in Hyssop Health and know that anyone who tries it will see positive health benefits.” Contact: Deborah Duffey Company: Hyssop Health Web Address: https://dermazone.com/ and www.hyssophealth.com
