    Oak Moss Whole

    Evernia prunastri

    Form: Whole

    Product description

    Oak moss is a type of lichen that grows on the bark of oak trees. It has a rough, fibrous texture and a distinct, earthy, and slightly musky aroma. The flavour is slightly bitter and astringent. Oak moss is commonly used in perfumes, cosmetics, and traditional herbal remedies.

    Oak moss is found in temperate forests in the Northern Hemisphere and the shoots are 3-4cm long and in bushy clumps resembling antlers. It can be green to greenish white when dried. Oak Moss is part of the Parmeliaceae family.

    Uses:

    Oak moss has been used in traditional herbal remedies for its believed antiseptic, anti-inflammatory, and astringent properties.

    Its most common use is in perfumes although it can cause skin reactions.

    Excessive consumption may cause digestive issues or allergic reactions in some individuals. Moderation is advised, especially for those with plant allergies or gastrointestinal conditions.

    Natural products can cause side effects. As with any herbal supplement, it is advisable to consult with a healthcare professional before incorporating into one’s routine, especially for individuals who are pregnant, nursing, or have pre-existing medical conditions.
