Osha Root

Osha root, also known as Ligusticum porteri, is a perennial plant native to the Rocky Mountains. Its unique and potent herbal properties have been used for centuries by indigenous tribes for medicinal purposes.

Osha root contains volatile oils, tannins, and other beneficial compounds that make it useful in treating respiratory infections such as coughs and colds. It works by increasing oxygen intake and improving lung function.

Additionally, Osha root's anti-inflammatory effects make it effective in treating sore throats, bronchitis, and asthma. Other potential benefits include boosting the immune system to fend off illness and supporting digestion.
