Herbalistsgenerally use Usnea for fungus infections, second and third degree burns, athletes foot, ringworm, urinary tract infections, colds, flu and bronchitis.
Usnea, also known as old man's beard,
is not a plant but a lichen a symbiotic relationship between an algae and a fungus.
The entire lichen is used medicinally.
Usnea looks like long, fuzzy strings hanging from trees in the forests of North America and Europe,
where it grows.
Historical or traditional use of usnea
Due to its bitter taste, usnea stimulates digestion and was historically
used by herbalists to treat indigestion.
It was also reportedly used over 3,000 years ago in ancient Egypt,
Greece, and China to treat unspecified infections.
We use the tincture for colds and sore throat.
