Is That Santa's Beard?? No! It's....
Is that Santa's Beard? No it's Usnea! Old Man's Beard!
It hangs from the trees here in the great northwest but DID YOU KNOW it is also a POWERFUL IMMUNE herb!
Studies show it is effective against antibiotic resistant Staphyloccocus and Enteroccocus bacteria when antibiotics failed to work!
Chinese medicine has used it or hundreds of years to treat tuberculosis and Native American used it as compress for open wound to prevent infection.
To my patients I recommend for infections of mucus membranes:
respiratory infections, cough, sinusitis, cold and flu
and even chronic urinary and vaginal infections and boosting immune responses .
Take it as a tincture... or just chew some RIGHT OFF THE TREE this winter holiday!
