Osha root (Ligusticum porteri), also called bear root, is a revered mountain medicine traditionally used by Indigenous peoples for respiratory, digestive, and protective purposes.

A gentle seasonal cleanse clears what is no longer needed, supports balance, and prepares you for the vitality and resilience of the months ahead.
