Like a speck of dust, this lacewing larva almost went unnoticed by me, if it wasn’t for it crawling up a wall. These insects are very beneficial in places like gardens where they feed on aphids and other small-bodied insects that may pose a risk to many plants. Some larvae of lacewing species disguise themselves with debris to go undetected from predators and prey. This particular one that I found looked like a piece of lichen! *Hand drawn stickers added to my store’s website for purchase via link in bio!

There’s nothing like the medicine of the forest. 🌲✨ I was out gathering some Usnea (aka “Old Man’s Beard”) for a medicine-making class I was about to teach, and as I wandered through the woods, a couple of hikers stumbled upon me. Little did they know, they were about to get a full-on herbalism class! I couldn’t help but share how incredible Usnea is—this amazing lichen that’s not only a powerful immunomodulator but also fights bacterial and fungal infections. We talked about hiw medicine-making requires a double extraction (gotta get all those medicinal goodies out!). We even talked about how Usnea is a lichen, a fascinating symbiosis of fungus and algae, and how rare it is in some areas—yet we’re lucky to have an abundance of it right here where I live. The forest is such an amazing classroom, and sharing herbal knowledge with curious hikers makes my day every time. Do you love connecting with others about forest medicine, too? Drop a 💚 in the comments and let me know! #usnea #forestmedicine #forestbathing #happyhiker #lichen #herbalmedicine #herbnerd #naturelover

🌲Did you know the forest is full of free medicine? 🌿 One of my favorites is Usnea (aka “Old Man’s Beard”)—a lichen that practically falls from the sky after a storm. Cool thing is, this incredible natural medicine is more than just a pretty green lichen hanging from trees. 🌲How to Identify Usnea Look for the stretchy white cord in the center of the strands—that’s where immune-boosting polysaccharides live! The outer green parts are rich in usnic acid, a powerful antibacterial compound that even outshines penicillin in some cases. 🌲Why Usnea is Special It’s a potent immunomodulator, helping the body fight bacterial and fungal infections. Usnea is also great for respiratory issues like bronchitis or strep throat and works wonders as a topical antifungal for things like athlete’s foot and ringworm. 🌲Harvesting Usnea Ethically Usnea is slow-growing and sensitive to air pollution, so it’s crucial to gather only what’s fallen from branches after storms. Never pick it off living trees, and always harvest with care and gratitude for the land. Please, never take more than you need. 🌲Making Usnea Medicine To get the most out of Usnea, you need a double extraction—one to pull the immune-supporting goodies from the core and another to capture the antibacterial usnic acid from the outer layer. (This is exactly what we’re doing in my Medicine Makin’ Mommas program!) The forest truly is the ultimate classroom, and Usnea is just one of the many treasures it holds. 💚 If this post inspired you or taught you something new, share it with your forest-loving friends or tag someone who could benefit from this powerful medicine. Let’s spread the love for Usnea—and respect for the land it comes from! #usnea #forestmedicine #plantmedicine #lichen #forestbathing
