Medicine hanging in the trees 🌿This is Āngiangi (Usnea), sometimes called Old Man’s Beard. It’s nature’s antibiotic, packed with usnic acid, used for period pain, coughs, sore throats, and wounds. It only grows where the air is pure and is very a slow growing. It should always be gathered from the forest floor. Any questions? drop them in the comments. #Āngiangi #Usnea #WildMedicine #Rongoā #ForestHealing #PrimalLiving | Brando Yelavich

Usnic acid and usnea does have a few case reports of significant liver damage in humans. These case reports are significant enough that we need to reassess our parameters of dosage when using usnea internally. Often when we see research on the toxicity of herbal medicines the research often is done using incredibly high dosages of isolated constituents from plants on rats.
