FRESH
Usnea Tincture
handcrafted
Usnea is a lichen;
a combination of an algae and a fungus growing together. Also known as
Old Man's beard, it grows in little hair-like tufts, with the green
algae covering the white string like fungus. This plant grows profusely
in wet climates, like the Pacific Northwest or in the South East in the
woods and swampy areas.
Usnea is an immune
system tonic that can be used in acute situations as well as for long
term immune enhancement and general prevention. It has no side effects
or contraindications, and is safe for children and animals. It can be
used along with or instead of Echinacea. Usnea is more specific for
strep and staph infections than Echinacea, and its antibiotic properties
are most specific to the respiratory and urinary systems. Use it to
help heal respiratory and sinus infections, bronchitis, pneumonia, strep
throat, colds, flues, as well as urinary tract, kidney, and bladder
infections. Usnea is also beneficial for women with yeast infections,
trichonomosas, bacterial vaginosis, and chlamydia. It can be helpful for
people with chronic fatigue, HIV, herpes, and other chronic conditions
related with depressed immunity.
I am a
professional herbalist who has taken the time and care to handcraft this
specific immune system tincture using the freshest usnea that I have
available and use a 100 proof vodka to extract the wonderful healing
properties of this plant for you to use as needed. Specific directions
for use will come with this 1oz Tincture. It is a good antiviral and
antibiotic and has some antifungal properties too...this lichen has an
affinity for the urinary tract system and upper respritory systems.
