OSHA root, scientifically known as Ligusticum porteri, is a remarkable and revered botanical treasure of the American Southwest, particularly prominent in regions like the Rocky Mountains and the Great Basin. This perennial herb has long been valued by indigenous communities for its potent medicinal properties.

OSHA root is celebrated for its ability to alleviate various respiratory ailments, making it a natural remedy for sinus congestion, headaches, and bronchial discomfort. Its distinctive aromatic qualities and unique flavor have also earned it a place in traditional herbal medicine and as a culinary ingredient. OSHA root is characterized by its robust, feathery leaves and a thick, fleshy rootstock, which is the part primarily used for its healing properties.

Beyond its therapeutic benefits, OSHA root is cherished for its cultural significance and sustainable harvesting practices, ensuring that this botanical gem continues to thrive for generations to come.

Our founder, a resident of the stunning Southwestern Rocky Mountain region in Colorado, embarked on an incredible journey to forge a new career path. It all began with a conversation with a friend, someone not native to this breathtaking locale, who shared their story of accompanying a local lady into the Colorado mountains to wild-harvest OSHA root (Ligusticum porteri).

Intrigued by the tale and the prospect of something extraordinary, our founder delved into the world of OSHA root research. The result? A newfound passion for ethically wild-harvesting OSHA root culminated in our very own harvest this August and September. Our mission goes beyond providing this remarkable herb; we're committed to educating people across the nation about the significance of OSHA root and its cultural, ecological, and medicinal value.
