Harvested in the mountains of Utah by a Native American. Most of the proceeds go to them to help them survive and have food on their table. They cultivate the root in order to make sure more grows back were it has been harvested from. Commonly used for making tea. Being this dry is not a bad thing but I like to make sure it is known what to expect. It will not be marked for weight on the baggie. Here is a common recipe for making tea, please note you can reuse the same root for 5+ batches and then starts to lose its potency. Bring to a boil and then turn down heat to low and simmer, covered, for 15 minutes. Meanwhile, infuse one teaspoon. Per one cup boiling water, covered, for 25 minutes. Strain both the infusion and decoction, combine, and drink a cup of hot tea. You can from there treat it like you would any other tea in the manner of turning it into a iced tea (my favorite way). Osha is a plant. Historically, the root has been used as medicine by Native American and Hispanic cultures. Today, Osha is used for sore throat, bronchitis, cough, common cold, influenza, swine flu, and pneumonia. It is also used to treat other viral infections including herpes and AIDS/HIV. Some people use it for indigestion. Some people apply Osha directly to the skin to keep wounds from getting infected. Pregnancy and breast-feeding: It’s UNSAFE to take Osha if you are pregnant. It might start menstruation, and this might cause a miscarriage. This item is in the category “Health & Beauty\Natural & Alternative Remedies\Herbal Remedies & Resins”.
