Osha Root is a sacred plant of protection, breath and deep rooted strength. Traditionally used to support the respiratory system and immune response, it carries a warming, clearing energy that moves through the lungs and chest. Osha helps to open the breath, fortify the body and create space where there has been constriction. A powerful ally during seasonal shifts, times of exposure or when the body calls for resilience & energetic protection.

"Osha is a plant of the west, the "looks within place." It is an herb for warriors for those who must go into darkness and face their own demons. ...For people who are trying to develop their own warrior strength and for those who fight the darkness within. Osha goes to the root of the matter. It is a plant that helps those who are going through destructuring. It understands the stripping away process necessary to deep transformation. If is for those who struggle to learn the "Truce of the Bear." Indigenous tribes have observed bears eating osha when they are sick or weak from hibernation in order to renew their energy." (1)
