• Swelling and inflammation
• Kidney problems
• Coughs
• Indigestion
• Certain types of infections, such as those affecting the throat, respiratory tract, mouth, skin and urinary tract
• Skin wounds that won’t easily heal
• Weight gain, due to its potential ability to support metabolic processes
• Possibly certain types of cancer, due to its antioxidant and free radical-scavenging capabilities

Is usnea antiviral and antibacterial? Research suggests that it has a number of anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties, including acting as an antifungal and antibacterial against bacteria such as Streptococcus and Staphylococcus. 

Historically, dried Usnea was packed into wounds as a natural antibiotic wound dressing.  Topically, it helps skin inflammation and irritation, as an antiseptic to quicken skin wound closure by increasing collagen formation, to stop bleeding, for oral irritation, as a deodorant, and for athletes foot.

When taken internally, Usnea aids in fighting bronchitis, tuberculosis, strep, staph, pneumonia, respiratory and sinus infections, phlem, cold, flu, kidney and bladder infections, and cellulitis.  It is  an analgesic, anti-inflammatory, anti-fungal, anti-bacterial, anti-microbial (especially in the digestive tract for stomach, intestinal, and urinary tract issues), and is an anti-oxidant. Usnea can also be taken as a candida cleanse, which in turn aids in depressed immunity related illnesses like HIV, herpes, and chronic fatigue.

Usnea is also beneficial for women with yeast infections, trichonomosas, bacterial vaginosis, and chlamydia. It can also be used for treat cystitis, UTIs (as a douche) and cervical dysplasia (as a vaginal suppository).
