Usnea Tincture

$10.00 Sale

Usnea (also known as old man's beard) is a common lichen that grows on trees all over the world. It is most known for its beneficial effects on the respiratory system. Usnea is an antimicrobial, antifungal and antiviral. Its antibiotic properties specifically target the respiratory and urinary systems. It is also a topical antiseptic and can help with wound healing, skin inflammation and skin infections.

  • Colds and flu
  • Urinary tract infections
  • Herpes simplex
  • Candida albicans (yeast infections)
  • Impetigo
  • Sore throat
  • Vaginal infections
  • Mastitis
  • Boils

The usnea used to make this tincture was harvested by me from either fallen branches or directly off the ground. Harvesting usnea after a day of heavy wind is the most ethical method, as it is a slow growing lichen and should not be disturbed if it is happy and healthy.  This is an alcohol extraction tincture made with grain alcohol and contains approximately 50% alcohol.  

Suggested oral dose is 1-3 dropperfuls as needed.  Suggested dilution for topical use is 2 parts water and 1 part tincture.

Available in 1 oz, 2 oz and 4 oz dropper bottles.

Helps with colds

I have a kiddo in kinder so we are surrounded by sickness. We took this often and helped us not get as sick as we could have been. Only 2 days of symptoms. Helps with throat discomfort as well! In my arsenal of cold/sickness tinctures and teas.

Usnea tincture

I use this for my cat who has had a chronic respiratory infection. After years of trying many different antibiotics, I tried Sally's Usnea tincture, it worked wonders! The cat is breathing freely, is playful and happy again.

Sally sent the tincture promptly and with no hassle, I recommend her products and service highly.
