• Traditionally used to help support symptoms of diarrhea, bladder irritability, irritated skin, joint pain, constipation and more.
Club Moss is also known by the names Vegetable Sulphur and Wolf's Claw. Club Moss is found all over the world. The part of this small vascular plant used for health benefits are the minute spores which, as a yellow powder, are shaken out of the kidney-shaped capsules or sporangia growing on the inner side of the bracts covering the fruit spikes. The spores are collected chiefly in Great Britain, Russia, Germany and Switzerland, the tops of the plants being cut as the spikes approach maturity. The spores of Club Moss are gathered and sold as "lycopodium powder," or "vegetable sulfur," a highly inflammable yellow powder sometimes used for nutraceutical or scientific purposes (e.g., as an absorptive powder) and in fireworks.
The whole plant was used by ancient physicians as a stomachic and diuretic, mainly for kidney complaints. The spores do not appear to have been used alone until the seventeenth century, when they were employed as a diuretic in dropsy, diarrhea, dysentery, and complaints resulting in the suppression of urine. As a nervine, Club Moss was used in spasms and hydrophobia, as an aperient in cases of joint pain and scurvy, as a corroborant in joint pain, and also as an application to wounds. They have been prescribed for irritability of the bladder, in the form of a liquid extract, which was official in the United States Pharmacopoeia.
The spores are still medicinally employed by herbalists, both internally and externally, as a dusting powder in various skin problems and skin irritations, and for excoriated surfaces, or to help avoid chafing in infants. Their chief pharmaceutical use is as a pill powder. They have such a strong water repellent power that, if the hand is powdered with them, it can be dipped in water without becoming wet. This is an herb also used on wounds to help support bleeding. It can still used by herbalists today to help support minor skin wounds. For joint pain and joint pain, even if the joints are deformed, and for chronic constipation and piles, Club Moss tea is often recommended. However, people who suffer from diarrhea should use the tea only with the greatest caution as cramps in the intestines could develop. The tea is also useful for all complaints of the urinary. and reproductive organs, for inflammations and hardening of the testes, formation of gravel in the kidneys and renal colic. For inflammation of the liver, growth of the connective tissues of the liver, even if malignant, Club Moss is considered indispensable.
The flowers of this plant grow in small cylindrical spikes, made up of kidney-shaped capsules enclosing a powder known as lyxopodium or commonly called Vegetable Sulphur or Vegetable Brimstone. This powder is fine, very light, odorless, pale yellow in color and highly inflammable. Water takes a long time to wet it. It contains sugar, a waxy substance soluble in ether and a substance insoluble in water, alcohol or ether which amounts to roughly ninetenths of its weight; it is said to be a particular nitrogenous principle, yellow, combustible and liable to putrifaction.
Club moss can be used to help support various purposes: it has been administered as a decoction, as an antirheumatic, iduretic, anti-epileptic and anti-diarrhetic, but it is can be used as a local dessicative to help avoid chapping in children's skin and to dust the bed of patients who develop sores from the prolonged rubbing of sheets. This very mobile powder has the property of greatly diminishing friction between bodies, and so, it is used to dust capsules, thus avoiding them from sticking together.
