Osha Root, wild harvested (Ligusticum porteri) - USA,.25lb

Osha is arguably the best American herb for lung and throat infections. It stimulates the macrophages or resident white blood cells of the lungs, numbs sore throats, bronchio-dilates the lungs to assist in expectoration, warms the lungs and helps one to breathe more deeply. It is more effective than Echinacea or Goldenseal when one is already acute and congested. It is great for chronic viral infections, swollen tonsils, throat infections and low lung resistance. Osha can be used preventatively for those prone to sore throats and lung congestion or who get secondary infections from allergies.*

Osha brings more blood into the lungs and assists in dilation of the lungs whens constricted. It increases oxygen utilization and uptake into the body. This can assist in altitude sickness and for competitive sport enthusiasts as well.*
