Description: Usnea Tincture 2oz Amber glass Dropper bottle What Is Usnea And What Are Its Beneficial Uses? Usnea is a lichen that has many benefits when used properly. People also refer to usnea as Old Mans Beard. For starters, it is a lichen you can find in many parts of the world. It favors damp woods, often growing on dead or dying trees. Usnea is not a parasite, like mistletoe can be, but is a lichen. Lichens are a symbiosis of alga and fungus, producing its own food via the chlorophyll in the alga. You can usually find it in dappled or mixed sunlight as the alga needs sunlight to produce food. The trees it chooses to live on are merely a place for the roots to grab a hold of. Herbally, usnea has been used to combat a number of respiratory diseases such as streptococcus and staphylococcus and it may help in certain cases of pneumonia. It is also being used in clinical trials in fighting urinary tract infections. According to Paul Bergner, Author of Medical Herbalism. The usnic acid in Usnea is effective against gram-positive bacteria such as Streptococcus and Staphylococcus, making it a valuable addition to herbal formulas for sore throats and skin infections. It is also effective against a bacterium that commonly causes pneumonia. Usnea is also showing promise as an antifungal and antimicrobial. To use the tincture, take a dropper full (whatever comes up in dropper, do not attempt to completely fill the dropper) every four hours at the onset of a cough or cold. It seems to be very effective for some coughs. If you dont like the taste, add it to your juice or coffee. Or add some honey or molasses. MAX OF 3 DOSES PER DAY FOR UP TO 3 DAYS AT A TIME. Usnea doesnt seem to work well as a preventative, unlike immune boosters like echinacea. It seems to work better at helping the respiratory system to kick illnesses out of your system.
