Title: Icelandic Moss Capsules (60 Capsules)

Enhanced Product Description

Icelandic moss (Cetraria islandica), a lichen thriving in the harsh mountainous, forested, and arctic regions of Iceland, Scandinavia, the UK, North America, and other Northern Hemisphere locales, boasts a long history of traditional use. Historically employed for ailments ranging from tuberculosis and respiratory issues to kidney and bladder problems, its versatility extends to treating non-healing wounds, diarrhea, and gastritis.

This remarkable lichen’s medicinal efficacy stems from its unique composition, rich in vitamins, minerals, and essential nutrients. Icelandic moss acids provide gentle antimicrobial and soothing properties, effectively calming irritated or inflamed mucous membranes. This makes it beneficial for treating oral and throat inflammation, as well as common colds, fevers, coughs, and bronchitis.

The presence of usnic acid, a powerful antibiotic, contributes significantly to Icelandic moss’s effectiveness against various infections. It’s successfully used to combat colds, inflammatory bowel conditions, and other digestive issues. In respiratory ailments, Icelandic moss exerts a softening effect, thinning mucus and promoting expectoration – proving helpful in the treatment of tuberculosis, asthma, bronchitis, pneumonia, and similar conditions. Its active compounds protect mucous membranes from harmful agents. For ulcerative diseases, consumption before meals helps prevent post-meal pain. It also effectively addresses diarrhea and other digestive upsets. The lichen’s bitterness and lichenic acids stimulate appetite and improve digestion.
