Clarity. Cleansing. Brightening. Energy.

Usnea is a lichen that grows slowly on Pines. Also, know as Old Man’s Beard, Usnea is an incredibly cleansing medicine that works on the lungs and deep within the tiisues.

If we think about this plant energetically, it works to clear the haze around someone. Reflecting on the name Old Man’s Beard. that’s exactly the type of person that this essence would be medicine for, a ornery, cloudy person that’s lost sight of their own power and access to clarity.

Think of the type of person you might find in a cloud of smoke in a dark bar, that’s the kind of energetics this essence addresses, clearing the fog in mind by strengthening the light inside. We see it in the lime green and bright color of the lichen, resembling bronchioles and lines in the fascia and nervous system, aiding in brightening and clearing our bodies on a cellular level, more breath, more clarity, more light and direction.

Medicine for addicts of any degree whether it’s as extreme as hard drugs or as every day as a phone addiction. This essence works to connect us to clarity, light, and our own inner direction. Deepening in Presence and the healing use of our own energy, clearing the dark places within.

This essence has served me in clearing waves of Grief, helping to push through in areas that feel stuck, so that more light can be revealed.

Step into this medicines clarity and see what she reveals for you.
