Usnea, also affectionately known as old man’s beard, is a potent medicine when prepared correctly. This means that it is needs the right heat, and the right water and alcohol concentrations in the right order to effectively capture its medicine.

How to use usnea lichen?

🌿Usnea is an ally to our mucous membranes, the lungs, sinuses, throat, and urinary tract.

🌿The mucous membranes that line our digestive systems and vaginas are also deeply supported by usnea.

🌿Promoting healthy immune function, usnea helps balance irritation and heat.

🌿Reach for it
when infections that affect mucous membranes feel hot, like UTIs or respiratory infections
when we need to encourage deep and clear breathing
