PSA: Herbalists across the world are reporting in that the herb Usnea is helping kick Covid-19's ass. I don't have enough to share as my mom currently has covid and I need what I have for my household. So, I'm gonna teach you right here and now how to make it.
Usnea grows on dying trees. It looks like wild, green hair. Collect some. Let it dry until there is no moisture clinging to it. Stuff a jar full of it. Cover with the highest proof alcohol you can get your hands on. Put the lid on tightly. At this point you can either tuck it away for three weeks to let it do its magic, or you can use the quick method. For the quick method I place a dish towel in the bottom of my crockpot. I place the jar on the towel then fill the pot with water to just under the jars lid. Turn the crockpot on low. Let it cook for three days, adding hot water to keep the level up. At the end of three days, remove the jar and let it cool. Then strain the plant material out. Store the liquid in a clean jar. This is your medicine. We are taking a dropperful twice a day. Good luck and God bless.

Feeling sick? Use this chart to determine your symptoms. If you think you have Covid-19, CALL YOUR DOCTOR BEFORE YOU GO IN! They need time to prepare. Also, the ER is NOT the place to go if you think you have the virus. Stay safe everyone!

While my go-to antiviral herb is Usnea, there are others out there. This article lists several of them.

Antiviral herbs build your immune system and protect the body from viruses, which is very important today. Here are the top antiviral herbs, along with benefits and ways to use.

With so many people panicking about Covid-19, I thought we should make a new post.

1. Everyone is buying toilet paper like it's never going to be made again. Some are ridiculing these people because Covid-19 is not an intestinal illness. But if you are quarantined or the stores are shut down, TP is a must! So if you haven't been able to get a ready supply and you fear one of the above scenarios go to the B&B store in Ashville, AL. They still have TP. If you aren't from the area, look up other, smaller stores in your area and give them a call. If none of that works, go to a place that sells plants and buy Lamb's Ear. It is a soft plant with wide leaves that make a suitable replacement for TP.

2. Covid-19 is a virus. Jireh still has plenty of the antiviral Usnea tincture. It is $15 per 1 ounce vial. That vial can last over a month depending on how many you are treating from it. Not only could this prevent you from getting the virus it can make it shorter lived if you already have it. It also works against colds and flus.

3. Keep washing your hands! Wash for at least 20 seconds. And don't touch your face.

4. Stock up on over the counter meds, if necessary. Unfortunately, there has been a run on Jireh's herbs that relieve symptoms of a virus and we are out. So get your Mucinex, Tylenol, etc before you get sick.

5. Don't panic! This virus is survivable. The economy may take a hit, but this will eventually pass. Stock up at least a month's supplies, just to be safe. But remember, there are still no verified cases of Covid-19 in Alabama.

Stay safe, friends! And if you want to purchase some Usnea tincture, message me here.
