Regularly taking Usnea Tincture helps in clearing a wide range of viruses from the bronchial area and the lungs.

Usnea is a fantastic choice for wounds. Using Usnea lichen in wounds can help treat or prevent infection. It also has wound-healing abilities that can accelerate the healing process. To use Usnea on a wound you might try it as a powdered herb or, if the wound is not infected, as a salve. Do not apply tinctures to open wounds. In addition to tincture form, we offer whole Usnea Florida lichen, wild harvested from our pristine forest in Brooksville. Cool fact: Usnea will not grow where there is air pollution.

Due to its bitter taste, Usnea encourages digestion and was historically used by herbalists to treat indigestion.

It is used as part of herbal cancer therapy, particularly for cases of thyroid cancers in China.

It has been used traditionally for treating headaches, ocular irritation, malaria, scrofula, leukorrhea, bleeding, carbuncle and toxic snake bite.

Avoid during Pregnancy and breast feeding.
It may cause Gastrointestinal Disorders.
It is recommended that you use it cautiously while applying the herb to the skin directly. Direct application of the herb on the skin may result in allergic contact dermatitis.

Product Description

The Usnea we use is usually collected from forest right on our Retreat Center. Sometimes, we collect gorgeous specimens that call to us when we hike on our travels, and make special batches from these harvests. Your Usnea could be from these special batches, and the label will specify where the Usnea was collected. For example, we went to the Smoky Mountains on a Spiritual Retreat and prepared a batch called “Smoky Mountain Usnea.” Your label may differ from the photo here. If you only want Usnea collected from Brooksville Florida, Usnea Florida, please let us know and you’ll receive a bottle just like the picture.

At Great Spirit Farm Healing & Retreat Center, we believe that the plants at our feet serve a purpose, and many of them are medicinal, often possessing the same qualities as other more well-known medicinal herbs, yet specific to our local area, helping us live healthfully, and in balance with mother nature. We focus on finding and using local plants that grow naturally in our region, often wild-crafting, and always sustainably harvesting, with love in our heart and care for the plants that nurture us. We carefully select plants that are in healthy environments, free from chemicals and exhaust.
