Osha (Bear) Root
I've had respiratory problems since the 70's. Osha has been my go to, always on hand, remedy since my wild crafting partner served me a cup of tea from Osha he gathered near our cabin in the rocky Mountains.The instantaneous relief was mind blowing. Now, since I no longer live in the Rockies, I am thankful to have the Prairie's Edge source.I keep a decoction in my frig. after soaking the finely chopped root it in water for several hours then slowly bringing it to a simmer, and letting it simmer a couple more hours while it fills the house like a steam bath. Then strain and bottle it to take a slug or two every time my lungs start to seize up.
