Why should you care? Usnea is a lichen that can be made into a remedy for wet, mucousy cough, inability to draw a deep breath, and also antibiotic effects in the body. Usnea can be made into a bandage for wounds or a styptic powder to stop bleeding. Reindeer moss is cute and people paint it in their miniature models. Want to learn more?

Usnea is known as lungs of the forest. It also has antibacterial properties and can be taken for a short time as an antibiotic as well. It's one of my must have herbal remedies! #usnea #herbalism #Hiking #asthma #breathedeep #lungs #wildmedicine

🌲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
