Usnea Tincture in Organic Hempseed Oil – Immune, Respiratory & Skin Defense
Botanical Name: Usnea barbata
Category: Herbal Extract | Immune Support | Topical & Internal Use
Form: Usnea Extract in Organic Cold-Pressed Hempseed Oil
Available Sizes: 1 oz dropper bottles
Description
Our Usnea Tincture in Organic Hempseed Oil is a potent, dual-action remedy crafted for immune strength, respiratory health, and natural skin defense. Wild-harvested Usnea lichen—often called “Old Man’s Beard”—is carefully extracted and blended with cold-pressed, organic hempseed oil, creating a nourishing herbal ally that’s gentle enough for the skin and powerful enough to support the body internally.
Usnea contains usnic acid, a compound with broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity, while hempseed oil is rich in omega-3 & omega-6 essential fatty acids, promoting inflammation modulation and healthy cell repair. Together, they form a unique blend ideal for both internal immune support and topical application for wounds, infections, or irritated skin.
