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.

 Always 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.
