Usnea Spagyric
Usnea species
Usnea is used medicinally worldwide by a variety of cultures. In the Pacific Northwest the fibers of Usnea longissima were used by the Haida, an indigenous nation of the Pacific Northwest Coast, to strain impurities from hot pitch before the pitch was used as medicine. Usnea is also used in the Canary Islands as a general wound healer, in Italy as a eupeptic, an antiseptic in Argentina, an antibacterial agent in Saudi Arabia, an antitumor agent in Chile and as an abscess and dye by North American tribes. Usnea can be used to create a topical medicine by smashing the whole lichen into a powder or applying the plant whole to treat fungal and bacterial skin infections and skin burns. Usnea spp. can also be used to treat internal health problems, commonly those associated with the respiratory system. The entire lichen is tinctured in alcohol, consumed whole, or infused as a tea to treat infections, colds, flu, bronchitis, pneumonia, and sinus infections.
1-5 drops to begin, on the tongue or in a beverage.
