Osha root has been a time-honored plant by many indigenous peoples for thousands of years. Its extraordinarily fragrant aromas are indicative of its incredible potency. It was traditionally used for high altitude sickness, colds, coughs, sore throat, cases of influenza, and pneumonia. Not only is this medicine absolutely delicious, but it is also an incredibly medicinal remedy that improves our immunity & overall lung health. This magical plant was typically used for cleansing & purifying spaces. Native American cultures also traditionally worked with Osha Root during sweat lodges to bring more oxygen into the lungs and to remove any negative impurities. This medicine was also seen as a plant talisman that is said to be utilized as a protection tool & to enhance psychic abilities.
Osha Root is also known as “Bear Root“ an emblematic medicine that carries the spirit of the bear. Bear Root was given its name from the observations of tribal peoples witnessing bears consuming this medicine after emerging from Winter’s slumber as a way to stimulate their appetite. Its roots also display the doctrine of signatures with its dark brown and hairy features as another indication of its affinity for the bear.
This particular Osha is sustainably harvested and native to the high altitudes of the San Luis Valley Mountains.
