The aerial tops and spores of this fern-like silver are used. Traditional use as a diuretic and in gastrointestinal spasms and as a topical for scabies and skin irritations. It contains glycerides of lycopodoleic acids, phytosterols; glycosides and organic acids, alkaloids (lycopodine...) and flavonoids. There is no scientific evidence of its properties or indications.
At the date of the last update we found no published data on its excretion in breast milk.
It is a plant with few bibliographic references and little is known about its properties. No serious side effects have been described. Intoxication with cholinergic symptoms (sweating, vomiting, diarrhea, cramps, dysarthria) has occurred by equal consumption of another plant of the same family, Lycopodium selago or fir moss, very rich in huperzine A. (Felgenhauer 2000)
Given the lack of contrasted data on its clinical effectiveness and safety, if consumed during breastfeeding it is prudent to use it sporadically, not continuously.
