Description
Usnea is an antibiotic, antibacterial, antifungal, astringent, antiviral, and diuretic.

From Herbal Descriptions by Truman Berst: #3399 USNEA (Usnea barbata) Usnea is a lichen which grows on tree branches. It is used internally and externally for fungal, viral and bacterial infections. May be used for colds and flu; use in combination with Echinacea for effects of general antibiotic and antifungal. Externally, Usnea can be made into a salve along with Thuja leaf and Echinacea. NOTE: Usnea is very slow-growing and therefore, should not be harvested off of living trees. It is best to take what is offered - i.e., after a windstorm has blown down tree branches or what has naturally fallen to the ground. Europe has already depleted their own resources for Usnea due to overharvesting.
