ABOUT THIS ITEM
Usnea is very a very valuable medicine to keep in your home apothecary. She is an anti- gal.
She is:
-Anti-viral
-Anti-microbial
-Anti- bacterial
-Anti-fungal
-Its an antibiotic against gram positive bacteria (here's link to the difference between gram+ and gram-)
-Vulnerary (an herb used for wound healing)(I am a fan of fancy words used to describe plant actions)
Usnea can be used both internally as a tincture or externally as a salve or compress.
Some specific treatments include; staph, strep, wound healing, sore throat, and fungal infections. Anything with heat and dampness.
Usnea has a special affinity for:
-treating virus's
-respiratory illness
-allergy symptoms
-sinus infections
-kidney and bladder infections
-pneumonia
Because usnea is antimicrobial it is a wonderful medicine for all types of pathogens. Most pharmacuetical antibiotics destroy all bacteria, including the good ones, but usnea and its anti-biotic properties do not kill of good bacterial and gut flora.
Usnea, if used as a whole plant medicine, has no known side effects but should not be used during pregnancy.
TO USE
take 20-30 drops 4 times per day as needed.
