Description
We highly recommend that everyone keeps this kit on hand during seasons that your family will be spending time outdoors. It includes a 1 ounce tin of our Drawing Salve, and a one ounce bottle of our Usnea tincture. Use a tick spoon or tick key to pull off the entire tick, then apply drawing salve 2x daily for 3 days. Take the Usnea tincture by mouth 2-3x daily for 2 weeks to support the immune system.
Usnea has been shown in studies to be just as effective as the primary antibiotic commonly used to treat tick bites and Lymes.
Usnea is also commonly used to aid weight loss, soothe sore throats, accelerate wound healing, and reduce pain and fever. Some people even suggest it may help fight certain types of cancer.
It has been shown in studies to reduce inflammation, speed wound healing by increasing the body's own collagen production, and even protect against staph bacteria.
Usnea is rich in polyphenols, a type of antioxidant that helps fight cell damage caused by unstable compounds known as free radicals.
Drawing salve contains a host of ingredients to pull out toxins and soothe irritation:
