Oakmoss Resin Oil
Oakmoss resin oil.....
Oakmoss resin is an oleoresin from the oakmoss lichens. This lichen is found in many mountainous temperate forests throughout the Northern Hemisphere. It grows in areas free from pollution as it doesn't tolerate pollution. It primarily grows on the branches and trunks of oak trees. It can also be found on the bark of other trees such as pines and firs. The color of this lichen is green to greenish-white when dry and dark olive green or yellow green when wet.
Native Americans used lichen to treat wounds and respiratory complaints.
