Usnea my latest medicinal discovery.
Also known as Old Man's Beard this lichen is an antibiotic, antifungal, antimicrobial, and antiviral.
It also indicates a healthy ecosystem as it will not grow in heavily polluted areas.
Look for it after a storm as the winds will knock down old limbs where it likes to grow.
I found several hand-fulls on my walk this morning that got knocked down in last night's heavy rains.
When I have collected enough I will make a tincture that I can use to treat respiratory, urinary tract, bladder, and kidney infections.
This amazing plant can do so much I am learning it is a must have for my medicine cabinet.
