Stag’s – Horn Club Moss Dried Leaves

Description

Latin Name: Lycopodium Clavatum

Common club moss, also known as running pine or stag’s horn moss (Lycopodium clavatum), has creeping stems up to 3 metres.
It grows in bogs and other wetland habitats nearly worldwide, and many species are native to tropical areas of the Americas.

The spores of this moss, “lycopodium powder”, are explosive if present in the air in high enough densities.

Since moss holds water, you can put a layer of moss on your shelter and it will absorb the water and keep you dry. It can also act as an insulator of both heat and cold, to be used in a variety of ways.

Club moss spores and teas from plant leaves have been used since ancient times in both American Indian and European cultures. Medicinal uses included treating urinary tract problems, diarrhea and other digestive tract problems, relieving headaches and skin ailments, and inducing labor in pregnancy.

The herb contains alkaloids, flavonoids, polyphenols, triterpenes and the radioactive element radium wich has anti cancer properties. The Chinese use a combination lycopodium Camomile for relief of muscle contractions.

Club Moss tea is prepared from one teaspoon of small cut pieces added to half a liter of boiled water. It is left like that for about 5 minutes. Never boil the plant, just pour the water over it. It is recommended to consume a cup per day, slowly, in the morning, on an empty stomach, half an hour before breakfast.

When taken by mouth: Clubmoss is POSSIBLY UNSAFE because it contains several poisonous chemicals. However, so far, no poisonings have been reported.
