USNEA TINCTURE - ANTIVIRAL
Mode Of Action
Usnea is a broad spectrum antimicrobial and antiviral with a particular affinity for the lungs and bronchi. It not only protects against pathogens, but it soothes and relieves irritation of the mucus membrane of the bronchi. It increases the elasticity of the tissues, relaxes muscles of the bronchi and eases expectoration. If used at the first signs of irritation or infection of the respiratory tract, usnea protects those with fragile bronchi. It helps fight off infection, strengthens immunity and reduces the risk of bronchitis and sinusitis. As an antipyretic, usnea is indicated for infections accompanied by fever.
The antibacterial action of usnea is mostly attributable to usnic acid, which is most effective on Gram-positive bacteria such as streptococcus and pneumococcus. The combination of mucilage and phenolic compounds make usnea an excellent herb to treat Strep throat. It also acts on some strains of Gram-negative bacteria of the digestive tract (H. pylori, E. coli). Analgesic and antiviral, usnea is useful against several viruses, among them Herpes simplex and Epstein-Barr. It is used topically to treat skin conditions caused by Staphylococcus Aureus.
Usnea’s main active constituents are acids (usnic, diffractaic, lichenic, barbatic, lobaraic) which are responsible for its antibiotic properties. It also contains polysaccharides, mucilages, bitter principles, essential fatty acids (linoleic, oleic and arachidonic), sterols,
amino acids
and vitamins (C, carotene).
It is an antifungal used for fungus infections of the genito-urinary tract. It is used internally and externally by women to treat yeast infections caused by Trichomonas vaginalis. Usnea is used in the treatment of fungus infections of the bladder and for intestinal dysbiosis caused by
Candida
Albicans or by certain intestinal parasites. It is anti-inflammatory and helps reduce symptoms of intestinal inflammation.

History
Usnea is a northern lichen made from the symbiosis of a mushroom and an algae. The Chinese have known about its antibiotic virtues for 3000 years. It seems that Hippocrates recommended usnea for uterine pain and that the name usnea has been around since the time of the Arab School of Medicine and Pharmacy. The discovery of penicillin during the Second World War spurred a search for other herbs containing antibiotic substances. The traditional uses of lichens came to the attention of researchers as early as 1944, with the unfortunate consequence that usnea is now on the protected plant list in Germany. Nepal also protects usnea from over-harvesting. On this side of the Atlantic, researchers have confirmed the presence of antibiotic substances in 52 North American lichens. Of those, usnea is the most used.
