Nature’s penicillin! Effective antimicrobial for gram positive bacterial, fungal and viral infections. Supports pain with infectious fevers. Affinity for the lungs, lymph and immune systems.
Usnea is not a plant! It's a symbiotic combo of algae and lichen. It grows slowly, anchored to tree bark and branches. It is best to only harvest usnea from dead trees or after winds storms have knocked it down. You'll know it's usnea by stretching a strand to reveal a white core. It smells very fresh and cleansing, an ode to its powerful antiseptic properties.
Usnea and its unique constituents have been researched for a long time. Interestingly, successfully used as an alternative to penicillin during WW2. It is specifically useful for gram positive bacterial infections including staph, strep (including pneumonia), listeria, C. diff to name a few.
Specific Uses:
infection: gram pos bac, viral, fungal, respiratory infection, gastroenteritis, dermatitis, thrush, ringworm, cystitis, mold infection, asthma, UTI, trichomonas, bronchitis
pain + fever: will not dissipate a fever by opening pores, but is useful for long haul fevers from infection, pain with fever, and very high fevers that need to be cooled
inflammation + immunity - associated with the above
wound healing: using diluted tincture or the dried, powdered herb, boils, ulcers, cuts, impetigo I personally reach for usnea for any type of infection with inflammation and heat patterns: yellow/green phlegm, flu-like illness with respiratory symptoms
Psychological use: grief, especially built-up, unprocessed
Pregnancy: yes
Postpartum: yes
Children: yes
INGREDIENTS: wild harvested fresh usnea, glycerin, alcohol
Double extracted for maximum usnic acid + polysaccharide content, 60% ABV
DOSE: Take 1-2 droppers full 2-3 times per day.
Size: 50ml dropper top bottle
