Key Plant & Why It’s Here:
Usnea (Old Man's Beard): Traditionally used to support immune wellness, respiratory health, healthy microbial balance, and overall resilience
Did you know?
Usnea isn't actually a moss or a plant - it's a lichen, a remarkable partnership between fungi and algae growing together in nature.
How People Often Use It:
Used during seasonal immune challenges, periods of respiratory irritation, travel, increased exposure to environmental stressors, or when additional immune support is desired.
Suggested Use:
Take 1–2 mL (about 1–2 dropperfuls) under the tongue or in water or tea, 1–3 times daily for 7-10 days.
Note: A standard dropperful may appear only partially filled depending on the dropper style. This is normal.

Alcohol-Free Option Available

Tincture or Glycerite - What’s the difference?
Tinctures are alcohol-based extracts that typically capture a broad range of plant compounds and have a long shelf life.
Glycerites are alcohol-free extracts made with vegetable glycerin. They have a naturally sweet taste and are often preferred by children, sensitive individuals, or those avoiding alcohol.
Both offer traditional herbal support - the best choice often comes down to personal preference.
