Description

Icelandic Moss — Cut & Sifted

Cetraria islandica | Dried Botanical | 100g

Harvested from the pristine subarctic landscapes of Northern Europe, Icelandic Moss has been a cornerstone of traditional Nordic and European herbal practice for centuries. Despite its name, this is actually a lichen — a symbiotic organism prized for its dense, mucilaginous properties and earthy, slightly bitter character.

Why Herbalists Choose It

  • Rich in polysaccharides (lichenin & isolichenin) that support mucous membrane comfort
  • Traditionally used to soothe the respiratory tract and digestive system
  • A classic ingredient in herbal teas, tinctures, and throat lozenges
  • Sustainably wild-harvested and carefully dried to preserve active constituents

Sensory Profile

Pale grey-green fronds with a crisp, papery texture. Aroma is subtly earthy and mossy; taste is mildly bitter with a characteristic mucilaginous quality when steeped.

Suggested Use

Steep 1–2 tsp in 250ml of hot water for 10–15 minutes. Strain and enjoy as a herbal infusion. Can also be used in decoctions or incorporated into herbal formulations.
