Title: Icelandic Moss 30g Fitolog – Cough, Bronchitis Relief – Herbal Remedy
Description:
Icelandic moss (Cetraria islandica) is prized for its lichen acids, particularly usnic acid, which boasts potent antibacterial properties against Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, Bacillus subtilis, Mycobacteria, and even kills tuberculosis bacteria. Its rich micronutrient profile (Fe, Mn, Cu, Co, Mo, B, Cr, Ni, Ti, I) and Vitamin B12 makes it beneficial for endocrine disorders, especially hypothyroidism. These micronutrients are crucial for redox reactions, growth, and hematopoiesis, while Vitamin B12 plays a vital role in treating pernicious anemia.
Icelandic moss’s mucilage soothes mucous membranes of the upper respiratory tract, providing relief from bronchitis and persistent coughs. Its applications extend to gastritis, stomach and duodenal ulcers, diarrhea, and early-stage pregnancy-induced nausea. Studies suggest its effectiveness in reducing breast tissue fibrosis in women and improving symptoms of prostatitis in men. Its use in treating even severe hemorrhoids demonstrates its ability to strengthen blood vessels and promote hemostasis. This makes it potentially valuable in managing other vascular disorders and internal bleeding.
A significant advantage of Icelandic moss is its absence of known side effects or toxicity. It contains a diverse range of bioactive compounds including carbohydrates, sugars, lichen acids, micronutrients (iron, copper, manganese, titanium, nickel), ascorbic and folic acids, vitamins A, B1, B2, and B12, as well as proteins, fats, wax, gum, and pigments.
