Icelandic moss

Icelandic moss main image09. Feb. 2022

Icelandic moss, also known as lungwort or fever moss, is found in the cooler temperate latitudes of the northern hemisphere, such as Iceland and Norway.

There, the medicinal plant grows on mountain heaths, in moors, but also in sparse forests. The growth is antler-like and the branched shoots are 4-12 cm tall and form loose carpets lying on the ground. Around the 17th century, healers spread knowledge about lichen throughout Europe. The number of plants is declining due to human influence, so it is under nature protection in many places.

Icelandic moss and its effects:

  • irritated mucous membranes in the mouth and throat
  • sore throat
  • sore throat and dry cough
  • hoarseness
  • Difficulty breathing due to dry heating air
  • asthma
  • nausea
  • loss of appetite
  • gastric mucosal
  • inflammation Inflammation of the intestinal mucosa
  • wounds
  • acne
  • exhaustion
  • too little breast milk
Application and dosage:
Iceland moss can be bought dried as a tea, in tea blends or as a ready-made preparation in the form of cough syrup, lozenges, candies, drops or tincture.

Tip: Icelandic moss is traditionally used in natural medicine to treat weakness and exhaustion. Anyone who has a lot of stress in their everyday life and often feels drained should be able to regain more vitality with an Icelandic moss tea, for example.

Important: Ask the pharmacy or your family doctor how often you should take the Icelandic moss product!
