Spanish Moss is a unique plant with a long history of therapeutic potential. Common in coastal subtropical environments, this plant sits high in oak and Cyprus trees, living off the abundant moisture and nutrients extracted from the air. This moss clings to tree branches throughout much of the southeastern United States, and is the region’s trademark. Spanish Moss coexists peacefully with the trees it grows on, and it is considered a perennial “epiphytic” herb, meaning it grows on top of plants and absorbs moisture and nutrients from its environment. Commonly known as Spanish Moss, Tillandsia usneoides, is neither Spanish nor a moss it is a flowering plant that grows on trees in particularly humid locations.
