I live where the air is clean and the naturally anti-fungal and antibacterial Usnea is abundant! I sustainably harvest and wildcraft Usnea when it is in its most pristine condition. Nice and long and springy, and a nice sea-foam green color before drying. My Usnea is freshly dried, un-chopped, with pieces of bark and leaf debris picked out (so you don’t have to).
Usnea is an herbalists treasure! There are so many uses! Do a little research and you’ll see! Usnea may help with super sore throats with bacterial infections, gram positive bacteria, fungus, and more!
Here's a few ideas on how to work with dried Usnea:
You could make a
Tea: Steep 1-2 teaspoons of dried Usnea in boiling water for 5-10 minutes. Strain and drink 2-3 times a day.
Tincture: Steep Usnea in a solvent like vodka for 4-6 weeks. Strain and take 20-30 drops, 2-3 times a day.
Infused oil: Combine dried Usnea with a carrier oil like olive oil. Let it infuse for 6-8 weeks, then strain and use topically.
Powder: Grind dried Usnea into a powder and mix with water or another herb to create a paste and apply topically.
Foot Soak: Soak in Usnea’s antifungal magic. You could even add a bit of vinegar or baking soda.
Usnea is quite light in weight, so 2 oz is a large amount to work with.
