When I first lost my daughter, I heavily relied on herbal tinctures to get through the days and nights. In Chinese Medicine, the lungs are connected to the emotion grief. Our lungs, the breath of life, play an essential role in navigating the ebbs and flows of emotions, especially in the face of loss. Just as the wind carries whispers through the trees, grief weaves its own currents within us, touching both body and spirit.
Usnea Lichen, a lichen that gracefully adorns the branches of ancient trees, emerges as a gentle ally in supporting our respiratory system during times of sorrow.
Usnea’s soothing properties, rooted in centuries-old herbal wisdom, extend a comforting embrace to our lungs. As we inhale, allowing the essence of Usnea to intertwine with our breath, we invite a moment of solace and resilience. This natural remedy becomes a companion on our journey through grief, offering support that echoes through the intricate passages of our emotional landscape.
Embrace the healing whispers of nature, as Usnea Lichen becomes a gentle guardian for your lungs and a source of comfort on your path through grief.
If you can, take a hike in the forest and harvest some Usnea yourself, clean it and make a tincture. You can use Apple Cider Vinegar or 80-90% proof alcohol (vodka or brandy). 1:2 Ratio. Hope this helps, leave any questions in the comments! Aloha, Mamaste.
