Osha
Ligusticum Porteri
A species that is endemic to the Rocky Mountains. It is a plant that needs to be harvested with the utmost care and respect to its environment. People have overharvested this plant for many years, and it has become a threatened medicinal species. When harvesting the root the whole root should never be uprooted, only small rootlets of the plant should be harvested singly from a plant. Osha is revered as a powerful antiviral medicinal plant that helps to clear up lung infections. It helps to adjust people to altitude by increasing the oxygenation that is inhaled by opening the bronchials.
