Club Moss is a particularly interesting Fern Ally. It is not a true moss, yet many mosses have been used traditionally in its place. Fr. Johannes Künzle stated:
The forest moss, especially the stagshorn moss (Lycopodium), which produces meter-long stems, has the same power against cramps and spasmodic legs as the fern root. The decoction can be used repeatedly for foot-baths. The stagshorn moss decoction drives away all kinds of lice and vermin from people and cattle. A bundle of stagshorn moss at the foot of the bed, pulls cramps out of the legs, probably because this plant contains radium.
The true Club Moss has great medicinal value, and like the ferns is somewhat mysterious in its actions. Specifically, Club Moss has found much use in the tradition of German Folk Medicine:
Brother Aloysius included Club Moss in his herbal - Used for cuts, dropsy, dysentery, diarrhea, boiled in wine to expel stones, decoction used as a wash for parasites, placed in bed for foot cramps.
Maria Treben wrote of Club Moss:
This mossy evergreen plant has 1 to 2 metre long ramblers which trail along the forest ground with their hair-like roots. From these ramblers grow 7 to 10 cm. high forked branches soft to the touch. The 4 year old plants develop yellowish spikes which yield the pollen, called Club Moss powder, which is homoepathically employed for excoriated surfaces of the skin.
The Club Moss is radium containing plant and easily distinguished by its widely ranging, rope-like ramblers and the yellow pollen of the spikes. It is found all over the world and occurs in high forests on Northern slopes and in moors. If the forests are cut down, the plant turns yellow and shrivels up, since it looses its life force through the direct sunlight.
For gout and rheumatism, even if the joints are deformed, for chronic constipation and piles, Club Moss tea is recommended. However, people who suffer from diarrhoea should use the tea only with the greatest caution as cramps in the intestines could develop. Club Moss is never boiled, water is poured over it. The tea is 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 tissue of the liver, even if malignant, Club Moss is indispensable. With its use the convalescent quickly regains his strength.
The husband of an acquaintance of mine suffered for years from shortness of breath at night which was treated as asthma. It got worse until one day he visited the doctor again. "If you don't stop working immediately you'll be a dead man in a week." The doctor transferred him to a hospital in my hometown. From his wife I learned that he suffered from hardening of the liver (cirrhosis of the liver) in its last state. Shortness of breath at night is one symptom of it. After a time he was sent home, a doomed man. On my advice the woman got some Club Moss which helped very quickly. Don't you think it a miracle if I tell you that this man lost his terrible nightly shortness of breath after his first cup of Club Moss tea?
lf you know someone in your circle of friends suffering from cirrhosis of the liver, even if it is very bad, give this person hope and point to our radium containing Club Moss so important in herbal medicine.
During a walking tour through the forest which I undertook with a small group of people in Upper Austria, I pointed out to the Botanist, Dr. Bruno Weinmeister, the medicinal value of Club Moss in regard to cirrhosis and cancer of the liver. He thereupon told of the following event: As a young student he and his friends had been walking in the mountains. On the path to the hut between dwarf pines he found a Club Moss rambler. ln high spirits, he wound it around his hat. ln the hut one of his friends got a terrible cramp in his foot, that is, the foot stood at an angle to the knee. Everyone tried to help. The hutkeeper brought "Franzbranntwein" (an embrocating made of diluted spirits of wine and essence) and massaged the foot without success. Following a suggestion, the young Weinmeister wound the Club Moss around the cramped foot up to the knee. ln a moment the foot turned back to its normal position' Now he thought this was a coincidence. Perhaps the cramp would have gone without the Club Moss. On the way home he picked a handful of Club Moss for his landlady who suffered from leg cramps. These brought the lady immediate relief. A few years later, Dr. Weinmeister talked about this incident to a specialist and learned from him that the Common Club Moss is a radium containing plant. Since then many people have been cured of cramps in the legs and feet with the help of a Club Moss pillow.
A friend was taken to hospital since she could not urinate. The upper arm was quite swollen. After she had left the hospital it started again and was as before. Luckily I had some Club Moss at home, as my mother-in-law - her age at that time was 86 years - suffered from cramps in her legs. My assumption that my friend suffered from a cramp in her bladder was confirmed when I applied a small bag of dried Club Moss to the region of the bladder and in a few minutes she was able to urinate normally. This small bag of Club Moss she kept applied to the region of the bladder for a few more days.
I myself suffered from high blood pressure for years. Mostly this was due to over functioning of the kidneys. Therefore I applied a small bag stuffed with Club Moss to the kidney region overnight. The next day my blood pressure was down from 200 to 165. Since then I apply a small bag filled with Club Moss to the kidney region from time to time.
For cramps in the leg, the Club Moss is placed in a cloth and tied around the calf. Foot baths can be taken, and also sitz baths for cramps in the bladder (see General information "sitz bath").
War and accident injuries leave scars which sometimes cause cramps. A disabled soldier had a large scar on his back. This scar gave him from time to time terribly painful cramps which caused heavy perspiration all over. The pain spread over his scalp. Through the use of the Club Moss pillow and baths I was able to relieve this man's pain of 30 years duration.
The Club Moss powder, also sold as "Club Moss Spores", heals bedsores of seriously ill people in a short time. The Club Moss powder is finely and gently spread over the open sores. Generally there is a noticeable relief after the first use.
DIRECTIONS
INFUSION: ¼ lilre of boiling water is poured over a level teaspoon of Club Moss, infused for a short time. Only 1 cup is taken in sips on an empty stomach, half an hour before breakfast. For cirrhosis and malignant diseases of the liver,2 cups are drunk daily.
CLUB MOSS PILLOW: Dried Club Moss (100 gm., 200 gm. or 300 gm. depending on the size of the area affected by a cramp) is stuffed into a pillow which is applied to the aching area overnight. This pillow retains its effect for one year.
Gerard wrote of mosses in general, listing Club Moss among them:
A. The Arabian physicians do put Moss amongst their cordial medicines, as fortifying the stomach, to stay vomit, and to stop the lask.
B. Moss boiled in wine and drunk stoppeth the spitting of blood, pissing of blood, the terms, and bloody flux.
C. Moss made into powder is good to stanch the bleeding of green and fresh wounds, and is a great help unto the cure of the same.
D. Wolf's Claw provoketh urine, and as Hieronymus Tragus reporteth, wasteth the stone, and driveth it forth.
E. Being stamped and boiled in wine and applied, it mitigateth the pain of the gout.
F. Floating wine, which is now become slimy, is restored to his former goodness if it be hanged in the vessel, as the same author testifieth.
Culpepper also wrote of mosses in general:
I shall not trouble the reader with a description of these, since my intent is to speak only of two kinds, as the most principal, viz. Ground Moss and Tree Moss, both which are very well known.
Place. The Ground Moss grows in our moist woods, and at the bottom of hills, in boggy grounds, and in shadowy ditches, and many other such like places. The Tree Moss grows only on trees.
Government and virtues. All sorts of Mosses are under the dominion of Saturn. The Ground Moss is held to be singularly good to break the stone, and to expel and drive it forth by urine, being boiled in wine and drank. The herb being bruised and boiled in water, and applied, eases all inflammations and pains coming from an hot cause; and is therefore used to ease the pains of the gout.
The Tree Mosses are cooling and binding, and partake of a digesting and molifying quality withal, as Galen saith. But each Moss partakes of the nature of the tree from whence it is taken; therefore that of the oak is more binding, and is of good effect to stay fluxes in man or woman; as also vomiting or bleeding, the powder thereof being taken in wine. The decoction thereof in wine is very good for women to be bathed in, that are troubled with the overflowing of their courses. The same being drank, stays the stomach that is troubled with casting, or hiccough; and, as Avicena saith, it comforts the heart. The powder thereof taken in drink for some time together, is thought available for the dropsy. The oil that has had fresh Moss steeped therein for a time, and afterwards boiled and applied to the temples and forehead, marvellously eases the head-ache coming of a hot cause; as also the distillations of hot rheums or humours in the eyes, or other parts. The ancients much used it in their ointments and other medicines against the lassitude, and to strengthen and comfort the sinews. For which, if it was good then, I know no reason but it may be found so still.
John K’Eough tells us of the specific use of CLub Moss in the Irish tradition:
If inserted into the nose, it stops bleeding and is a useful ingredient of astringent ointment. A decoction of it in claret stops diarrhea.
There are also many members of Lycopodium Mrs, Grieve, in her A Modern Herbal, says that American Club Moss, Lycopodium complanatum, can be used similarly to Common (to Europe) Club Moss, Lycopodium clavatum... but that neither should be confused with Yellow Bugle, which may also be called European Ground Pine (Ajuga chamaepitys). American and Common Club Moss should also not be confused with Chinese Club Moss, which may be useful for Alzheimer's. And, to make matters even more confusing, Plants for A Future says about Lycopodium selago: "The plant is hypnotic. Chewing three stems is said to induce mild intoxication whilst eight can cause unconsciousness."
Mrs. Grieve tells us:
This species is found all over the world and occurs throughout Great Britain, being most plentiful on the moors of the northern counties.
Though this species of Club Moss occurs in Great Britain, the spores are collected chiefly in Russia, Germany and Switzerland, in July and August, the tops of the plants being cut as the spikes approach maturity and the powder shaken out and separated by a sieve. Probably the spores used commercially are derived also from other species in addition to Lycopodium clavatum.
Medicinal Action and Uses---The part of the plant now employed is 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 spike. Under the names of Muscus terrestris or M. clavatum the whole plant was used, dried, by ancient physicians as a stomachic and diuretic, mainly in calculous and other 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, a drastic in diarrhoea, dysentery and suppression of urine, a nervine in spasms and hydrophobia, an aperient in gout and scurvy and a corroborant in rheumatism, and also as an application to wounds. They were, however, more used on the Continent than in this country and never had a place in the London Pharmacopoeia, though they have been prescribed for irritability of the bladder, in the form of a tincture, which is official in the United States Pharmacopoeia.
The spores are still medicinally employed by herbalists in this country, both internally and externally, as a dusting powder in various skin diseases such as eczema and erysipelas and for excoriated surfaces, to prevent chafing in infants. Their chief pharmaceutical use is as a pill powder, for enveloping pills to prevent their adhesion to one another when placed in a box, and to disguise their taste. Dose, 10 to 60 grains. They have such a strong repulsive power that, if the hand is powdered with them, it can be dipped in water without becoming wet.
Club Moss does not seem to have found much use in early American Medicine, but is was known, as it was mentioned in Resources of The Southern Fields and Forests. Herbal Remedies of The Lumbee Indians tells us that they knew the herb as Rheumatism Plant:
(Lycopodium flabilliforme) Lycopodium is a Club Moss rather than a conifer and reproduces by means of spores released from candelabra shaped cases. A single plant may cover several square yards with dense, shining green, cedar-like foliage. The six inch, upright stalks arise from long, horizontal stems which lie beneath the top layer of humus. It has been said that Native American of long ago must have suffered greatly from rheumatism because their appear to be more treatments for rheumatism than any other ailment in Native America Communities. Lumbee healers thought it best to gather the Rheumatism Plant when the “candles” (cones) were present, but it was gathered at all times of the year. Two or three handfuls of the entire plant were covered with water and boiled. A cloth was soaked in the tea and applied as a wet compress to painful areas.
The Lumbee are a modern tribe, made up of the remnants of several Native American tribes that inhabited the coastal swamps of the Carolinas. I grew up, partially, in the Lumbee territory and have distant relatives in the tribe. I believe the statement about rheumatism being very common among the Native Americans of that area is true, due to the lack of dolomite in the soil. Older people of all races in the region often suffer from terrible arthritis, causing the joints of the hands, especially, to be large and swollen. I have not witnessed arthritis to be as bad or as common among the Cherokee who call the mineral-rich Appalachian Mountains home. Continuing in the Native American traditions though, several tribes found Club Moss useful for similar purposes.
Peterson Field Guide to Medicine Plants states:
American Indians used the plant tea for postpartum pains, fever and weakness. In folk medicine, spores used for diarrhea, dysentery, rheumatism; also as a diuretic, gastric sedative, aphrodisiac, styptic; externally, in powders for baby’s chafing, tangles or matted hair with vermin, herpes, eczema, dermatitis in the folds of the skin, erysipelas. Spores, called “vegetable sulphur,” formerly used to coat pills and suppositories. A related Chinese species in the Clubmoss family, is being researched as a potential treatment for Alzheimer’s disease.
Warning: Clubmoss, L. clavatum, contains a toxic alkaloid.
By 1898, Club Moss was being used medicinally by physicians in America. Kings Medical Dispensatory tells us:
Lycopodium, or Common club moss, is found in almost all parts of the earth, especially in northern regions, growing in dry situations, as pastures, mountains, and woods. The spores, the chief medicinal portion, are shaken out of the renal-shaped capsules (sporangia) which grow on "the inner side of the bracts covering the fruit spike" (Pharmacographia) as a yellowish powder. The drug is gathered in Germany, Russia, and Switzerland, during the months of July and August, by the peasants, who cut the tops from the plants and carry them to their homes, where the powder is obtained by shaking the tops and sifting out the extraneous matter. As the plant fails to be plentiful some years, the annual collection is apt to vary much.
Action, Medical Uses, and Dosage.—This agent was for a long time used only as a dusting powder for protective purposes in erysipelas, intertrigo, herpes, ulcers, eczemas, etc. Druggists used it to prevent pills from adhering to each other in the boxes, and pyrotechnists employed it in the manufacture of their wares. Of recent years it has become quite important as a remedy in our school, the suggestion coming first from the homoeopaths, who use it quite extensively. It was introduced to us as a remedy by Prof. Scudder. He prepared a tincture of the fresh plant before it had cast its sporules with 98 per cent alcohol, and also a tincture of the sporules first triturated in a dry mortar until doughy, then placing them in a percolator, covering with alcohol, allowing to macerate 4 days, when the tincture was drawn off. He recommended the tincture of the sporules in "extreme sensitiveness of the surface; sensitiveness of a part, and care to prevent its being touched; slow, painful boils; nodes or swellings; extreme sensitiveness of the organs of special sense, with pale, livid, or dirty complexion" (Spec. Med. 174) (I can't find it. Perhaps it's in a later edition. -Henriette)
In fevers showing an obscure periodicity lycopodium has been found curative. The cases are not distinctly agues nor ordinary intermittents, and consequently not influenced by quinine. The febrile phenomena are not active, and there may be an irritable stomach, with either diarrhoea, dysentery, or constipation, an obscure colic being associated with the latter, and some sore throat. The fever, though not active, is intractable, and exceedingly depressing, and the characteristic symptoms guiding the selection of lycopodium are a high-colored red urine staining the clothing, and an afternoon exacerbation, usually occurring in the middle of the afternoon.
Lycopodium is an efficient gastric sedative, and with the high-colored red urine, and the patient suffering more in the afternoon, will be found of value in dyspepsia, and especially if constipation and cardiac palpitation are also present. There is tenderness over the stomach and a sense of fullness. Pyrosis, with flatulence, is corrected by it, and in indigestion, with fermentative changes and borborygmus, it should be remembered when the special indications above alluded to are present. It is reputed useful in catarrhal gastritis.
Lycopodium is prominent as a remedy in urinary disorders. Spasmodic retention of urine in children, and catarrhal cystitis in adults, with deposits of mucus or mucus and blood, with frequent painful micturition, are disorders in which it has rendered good service. It is a remedy for the lithic acid diathesis, when there is pain in the kidneys, ureters, and bladder, with unpleasant sensations in micturition, and there are red, sandy deposits in the urine. Gonorrhoea, gleet, vesical catarrh, and rheumatism with uric acid diathesis, are said to be benefited by lycopodium. Dr. Scudder recommended the tincture of the plant in chronic kidney diseases with blood in the urine; and in cases of "cough with bloody expectoration, congestive headache, dizziness, and tendency to syncope." The usual method of administering lycopodium for its specific effects is as follows: Rx Specific lycopodium, gtt. x; aqua, fl℥iv. Mix. Sig. Dose, a teaspoonful every 1 or 2 hours.
Specific Indications and Uses.—Intractable forms of fever, not of an active type, showing obscure periodicity, with afternoon exacerbation, and the voiding of a high-colored red urine, staining the clothing; dyspepsia and indigestion with the same urinary symptoms, or with red, sandy deposits in the urine, palpitation, constipation, borborygmus, and water brash; spasmodic retention of urine in children; cystic catarrh in adults, with painful micturition; urine loaded with mucus or blood, or both, or deposits of red sand or phosphates; cough with bloody expectoration, congestive headache, dizziness, and tendency to fainting.
Plants for A Future states:
Lycopodium clavatum
A decoction of the plant is analgesic, antirheumatic, carminative, mildly diuretic, stomachic and tonic. It is used internally in the treatment of urinary and kidney disorders, rheumatic arthritis, catarrhal cystitis, gastritis etc. It is applied externally to skin diseases and irritations. The plant can be harvested all year round and is used fresh or dried. The spores of this plant are antipruritic, decongestant, diuretic and stomachic. They are applied externally as a dusting powder to various skin diseases, to wounds or inhaled to stop bleeding noses. They can also be used to absorb fluids from injured tissues. The spores are harvested when ripe in late summer. The spores can also be used as a dusting powder to prevent pills sticking together. A homeopathic remedy is made from the spores. It has a wide range of applications including dry coughs, mumps and rheumatic pains.
Known hazards of Lycopodium clavatum: The plant contains lycopodine, which is poisonous by paralysing the motor nerves. It also contains clavatine which is toxic to many mammals. The spores, however, are not toxic.

It has a wide range of applications including dry coughs, mumps and rheumatic pains.
Known hazards of Lycopodium complanatum: The plant contains lycopodine, which is poisonous by paralysing the motor nerves. It also contains clavatine which is toxic to many mammals. The spores, however, are not toxic.
Lycopodium obscurum
The plant is analgesic, antispasmodic, blood tonic, diuretic and tonic. A decoction has been used as a herbal steam in the treatment of rheumatism. The spores of this plant are dusted on wounds or inhaled to stop bleeding noses. They can also be used to absorb fluids from injured tissues. The spores can be used as a dusting powder to prevent pills sticking together.
Known hazards of Lycopodium obscurum: The plant contains lycopodine, which is poisonous by paralysing the motor nerves. It also contains clavatine which is toxic to many mammals. The spores, however, are not toxic.
Lycopodium selago
The plant is hypnotic. Chewing three stems is said to induce mild intoxication whilst eight can cause unconsciousness. The plant has been used as a fast-acting emetic and purgative. A poultice of the whole plant has been applied to the head in the treatment of headaches. A homeopathic remedy is made from the whole plant, collected during the summer. It is used as a laxative and to kill worms.
Known hazards of Lycopodium selago: The plant is an active narcotic poison.
Lycopodium serratum
Known hazards of Lycopodium serratum: The plant contains lycopodine, which is poisonous by paralysing the motor nerves. It also contains clavatine which is toxic to many mammals. The spores, however, are not toxic.
The Physicians’ Desk Reference for Herbal Medicine states:
Club Moss has a diuretic effect.
In folk medicine, it is used internally for bladder and kidney complaints, also for pharyngeal catarrh and tonsillitis, menstruation complaints, rheumatism, and impotence; externally for wounds, itching and suppurating eczema of the skin.
Homeopathic Uses: Herb and spores are used in liver and gallbladder complaints, general blood poisoning, inflammation of the respiratory tract, disorders of the intestinal tract, varicose veins, metabolic diseases, chronic and acute skin conditions, inflammation of the female genital organs and menstruation complaints, as well as behavioral and mood disturbances.
No health hazards or side effects are known in conjunction with the proper administration of designated therapeutic dosages. Irritations should be expected with extended use of the drug.
So, it is safe? Used externally, there seems to be no danger. Should it be used internally? Well, likely, yes in reasonable doses... if you use the right Lycopodium... but, just to be safe, I will give it a maybe... beware of common names! Many herbs can be toxic in unreasonably large doses. Thujone is found in Wormwood, Yarrow, Tansy and Sage, but these are herbs few herbalists would be without! Comfrey and Sassafras contain substances that could cause cancer... but, these herbs have been used medicinally for countless generations. How can this be? Well, look closer at the studies and you generally find circumstances which would be hard to recreate by any reasonable person... lab rats given such high doses, in such high concentrations of the herb that it would be the equivalent of a human drinking 20 gallons or more of the tea, daily for 20 years! Sure, that is a bit of an exaggeration, but you get my point. Banning an herb like sassafras based on fairly ridiculous "studies" in lab conditions that would be almost impossible to recreate in the real world... while approving countless pharmaceutical drugs that have side effects like "sudden death", seems less than reasonable to me. But, I'm not giving any advice - make your own informed choices.
