Usnea is specific for strep and staph infections and is strongly antifungal. It mixes well with other herbs such as Pau D’Arco and Yarrow. The antibacterial properties of Usnea, combined with the astringent properties of Yarrow, dries out the mucous membranes of the lungs and bronchial tubes in pneumonia and bronchitis better than anything else I know. Pau D’Arco and Usnea combine to make a powerful antifungal remedy, to be taken internally or applied topically. Usnea is an immune system tonic that can be used in acute situations as well as for long term immune enhancement and general prevention of autoimmune disorders.
