Usnea has amazing immunostimulant properties, and also appears to kill bacteria by intercepting the metabolic system and cutting off the energy to their cells.
Usnea tincture is the strongest for antibiotic use against gram positive bacteria (both resistant and non resistant strains) as well as the parasite Trichomonas, with a high concentration or uric acid. It is known to specifically target infections inside and outside of the body from gram positive bacteria, fungus, protozoa and yeast. Effective against Strep (Streptococcus), Staph Infections (Even MRSA), Pneumonococcus, Mycobacteria, Urinary Tract Infections, Tuberculosis, Respiratory Tract Infections, Upper Respiratory Infections and Gastrointestinal Tract Infections, this immune strengthening tincture smoothes and relaxes the muscles while fighting bacteria. It is great for athletes foot and other fungal infections, and can be utilized differently by adding water to use in different areas of the body. Usnea is famous for its strong selective anti-bacterial activity which kills bacteria but never harms human cells, and has also shown anti-tumor activity in various animal species.
In Western Culture, usnea has been found to inhibit at least 16 gram positive bacteria and countless viruses, especially those that produce sores; Herpes Simplex, Polyoma, Junin, Tacaribe, and Epstein-Barr Virus. It also inhibits the overgrowth of Candida Albicans, and has been used as a potent antibiotic, antimicrobial, anti fungal, antiviral, anti-inflammatory, antiproliferant, and all around immune-boosting herb since time immemorial.

Conscientious Harvest & Health Safety: It is important to note that usnea has a gift of absorbing wide amounts of toxic heavy metals and other toxic compounds. It is extremely sensitive to pollution, and can absorb toxins both out of the air and the body- so beware where you purchase your remedies. We harvest thousands of feet above any civilizations in the pristine wilderness of high-altitude Alaska, and we harvest extremely sustainably in an area free of all pollution, never taking usnea from living trees or branches.

Directions:
Do not use internally during pregnancy. If using externally, test sensitivity first. As with all herbal medicines, it is best to start with a low dose and monitor yourself to slowly work up to a therapeutic dose. This not only allows the body to adjust to the energy of the herb to allow it’s full value to be absorbed, but also allows you to feel if it is the correct herb for your body and condition you would like to address.
