Osha, Bear Medicine of the West

As a keystone plant species, osha, Ligusticum porteri, has always played a necessary role in traditional herbalism and a harbinger of what's to come for healthy ecosystems. From ethnobotanical medicine to current research into its chemistry profile, we see the lineage and legacy of plants to people throughout the Rocky Mountains. Hear about ongoing preservation projects and learn sustainability techniques. An osha monograph with clinical applications will be shared as well.
