Iceland Moss (Cetraria Islandica) has been used internally and externally as a soothing agent. It was especially useful for inflamed mucous membranes in the mouth, throat, stomach, intestines, and skin tissue.
Cetraria Islandica is grown in the northern regions of the world, where it has been eaten by the Laplanders and Canadian Indians since recorded history.
The plant's spores were dusted onto the body as a medicinal treatment for common skin problems, such as eczema and dry, chaffed skin. In addition, during various wars in history, moss was used as a tourniquet to stop bleeding and control infection.
Cetraria Islandica Extract is a light to medium amber liquid with a characteristic odor. It is used in skin creams, lotions, and moisturizers to treat dry, chaffed skin or eczema.Synonyms
